AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

On offer is a classic Miranda S, a robustly engineered 35mm Single Lens Reflex (SLR) camera manufactured by the Miranda Camera Co. in Japan during the late 1950s. Miranda cameras were highly regarded for their precision and the unique ability to exchange viewfinders, a feature often reserved for professional-grade systems.

This "S" model is a purely mechanical workhorse, notable for its front-mounted shutter release and clean design. It comes fitted with a matching Miranda 1:2.8 f=5cm standard lens, a reliable optic that offers the classic rendering of early Japanese high-quality glass.

Technical Specifications
Camera Type: 35mm Single Lens Reflex (SLR).

Film Type: 35mm (standard 135 film).

Condition Report
Cosmetic: The camera is in good aesthetic condition for its age. The chrome top plate and leatherette body covering show typical signs of use and a beautiful vintage patina.

Optical: The 5cm lens glass appears clear; no heavy scratches or fungus are visible upon inspection. The viewfinder remains functional.

Mechanical: The shutter fires and the film advance knob operates smoothly.

Note: As with all precision vintage mechanical equipment, a professional CLA (Clean, Lubricate, Adjust) is recommended for optimal performance if intended for regular use. Sold primarily as a collector's item.
