When putting away some cameras in boxes in order to get them out of the way for the house rebuild, i stumbled across a few mirandas. I never gave them much attention, but on inspecting them i noticed just how fine these cameras are. So i had to have some more... this is what a few days of internet and local stores got me :  I've got to figure out how to loose my camera aquiring addiction because things are getting out of hand and some how i'll need some spare change left for my two months trip to New Zeeland. |

Nice collection of Mirandas but alas, I have never even experienced one! Sorry I can't be much help with your camera aquiring addiction, but hopefully you can rely on them on take good pictures particularly with your upcoming trip. Good luck and good light on your trip and bring back some results! |

The only Miranda I ever had was a special one for microscopy. I have it in a picture somewhere...

Unfortunately, I'm of no help as I have a soft spot for Mirandas as well. Although, I've never gotten around the acquiring my 2 favorites which are the "G", and the RE-II, hope springs eternal. Maybe someday! |

The Soligor TM was a Miranda wasn't it?

Yes it was with the TM meaning Thread Mount. Miranda had models with their own branding that had used that designation as well.

@ Stan, the G that's another story, i made a bid on two G's on a Dutch website and was happy that the vendor accepted my bid. However when i gave him the adress to wich to send the cameras he replied that he refuses to sell outside of the Netherlands and that was the end of the story.... so the hunt for a (preferably black) G goes on !
I don't want to dream about the very early mirandas as the prices for those are out of my league i know of a mint condition orion but 3700$ is a bit to much :-( |

All I know is Mirandas are one of the heaviest of the early SLRs. They feel like they were made to last.

Although I think that the early-ish Mirandas had very nice chrome, I once saw a black G and was instantly smitten! I hadn't fallen for a camera that hard since the first catching a glimpse of an XE-7. Miranda is one of those companies that have products that either look fantastic or pretty homely. Sorry to hear about your experience with the Dutch auction; I would have been extremely frustrated with that situation! I will keep an eye out for when you do snag your pair. |

The transfer for me to you should be a nobrainer. Hans |
