Miranda Sensomat + 1,8/50mm | Analogue camera

Miranda Sensomat 35mm SLR camera made by the Japanese Miranda Camera corporation. Although marketed as a budget model, the Sensomat line of cameras featured several features found in much more expensive cameras such as an interchangeable prism and stop down TTL metering. The Miranda Camera Corp manufactured almost all of their cameras in-house without outsourcing parts. Although this meant that their products were well built and durable, it prohibited them from competing with larger Japanese camera makers of the time, eventually leading to the company going bankrupt in 1976. Lens Mount: Miranda Bayonet and 44mm Screw Mounts Lens: 50mm f/1.8 Focus: Removable SLR Prism Shutter: Focal Plane Speeds: B, 1 – 1/1000 seconds Exposure Meter: TTL Behind the Mirror CdS Sensor with Match Needle Exposure Battery: PX675 Mercury Wein Cell Flash Mount: PC Sync The camera was part of my collection and has not been tested with film. It was checked at all speeds, and the shutter responds correctly. The metering works, but I can't guarantee its precision. The button for metering operation needs to be pressed gently; otherwise, the metering is not triggered. The lens is in very nice condition, with no scratches or mold. The aperture blades are working properly and are clean. The ground glass and prism are also in good condition without scratches.
