Step back into the golden age of mechanical photography with this Miranda Sensorex II. Known as a "gem" among collectors, the Sensorex II represents the peak of Miranda's engineering before the company closed its doors. This is a robust, all-metal workhorse that feels incredibly satisfying in the hand. Body: Excellent cosmetic condition with minimal wear. Mechanics: Fully tested and functional. The shutter fires smoothly at all speeds, and the film advance is crisp. Light Meter: The internal CdS light meter is active and responding. However, as is common with cameras of this era, please note that these vintage meters were designed for mercury batteries (1.35V) which are no longer made. Using modern 1.5V batteries may cause the meter to be slightly off.
For critical professional work, I recommend using a light meter app or a handheld meter, but for casual shooting, this "match-needle" system is a joy to use! One of the best features of this camera is the interchangeable viewfinder-you can actually pop the top off for waist-level shooting! ======= Leather Bag Included ==========. A Brief History of Miranda: The Miranda Camera Company originally Orion Camera Co.
Was a pioneer in the Japanese SLR market, often beating industry giants like Nikon and Canon to the punch with innovative features. They were famous for their unique dual lens mount (both bayonet and screw mount) and their exceptionally bright viewfinders. The Sensorex II was their final refinement of the manually metered lineup, offering a refined, lighter frame and superior ergonomics compared to its predecessors.
