Hi all, I spoke to some guy the other day who reckoned that Miranda 1970's SLRs were way under-rated and as good as any Nikon. Is that true? Do they have the same build quality and give the same results for less $?? Thanks, G. >Hi all, > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > >Thanks, Mirandas were just as capable as any other model.. In my opinion they were way underrated. I've owned a few over the years and would use them again.. Quality wise, Mirandas suffered from little use thus the need for service..

No, they were rated about right...not that great but not terrible cameras. >No, they were rated about right...not that great but not terrible >cameras. Miranda made some top quality models such as Sensorex, F, FV, and D. There are others but the above were my favorites. These cameras are still very reliable and capable of doing as god as any other 35mm model. Miranda even had some excellent glass..

As I recall, they had some odd designs - like buttons and knobs in strange places that worked in odd ways. >> Miranda made some top quality models such as Sensorex, F, FV, and D. >> There are others but the above were my favorites.

The older one did but the above named models + others were laid out as any other 35mm camera.. Some had the shutter button on the front side where it could be easily used by the first finger while others had the button relocated to the top plate Mirandas were and still are high quality cameras, they just didn't have the following that others did.. Below is a site which shows most of the models made.. http://www.mirandacamera.com/_modelinfo/modelinfo.htm Colyn Goodson http://home.swbell.net/colyng http://www.colyngoodson.com Who cares? MORON! >Who cares? A lot of people. Afterall, discussions about such things as Mirandas are what this group is all about.. >MORON! Don't be so hard on yourself...idiot is a good enough word to describe yourself.. Colyn Goodson http://home.swbell.net/colyng http://www.colyngoodson.com Yes, it was good. It was reversed engineered from the Leica. I've got one for 30 years and still clicking along. The later Sensorex I had busted after a few rolls. > Hi all, > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > G. |
