Hi Robert. That's a nice find. Mirandas have quite a following here on CC. I don't have one, but when I was in college (a l-o-o-o-ng time ago  ), my heart was set on one of them. Interchangeable lens!! Wow!  Cheers, (Very!)Olroy! |

I have 13 Mirandas so far as do a few others here. There is also an active Miranda group on Flickr. To buy one for $12.99 is a great deal. Which lenses did you get? I see the 50 f1.8 and I'm guessing the others to be a 135 and possibly a Soligor zoom with J.C. Penny filter??

Thanks, Curt the shorter one is a sigma 28-80 that fits Minolta cameras, i have it on my xg1 right now the big lens is 80-200 Jc penny k mount style lens but i dont know about it because it will fit my cameras fine but when i go to take a picture it seems to get in the way of something causing the shutter to get stuck till i take it off again |

Hi Robert, K mount style or PK mount? Have you looked at Rick Oleson's lens mount identification guide? Seems likely if it's jamming your shutter it's the wrong lens but?  Could you post a photo of the mount itself? Maybe one of us can help. |

The ad below is probably why I wanted a Miranda back in 1959 when I was a teenager. They wrote the book on the term, "sex sells."  |

Wayne ... not really sure why ... I seem to be rethinking my bias against Miranda. Something just suddenly came over me; not really sure what that could be....

They wrote the book on the term, "sex sells." actually the book was written by the renown behavioral psychologist, John Watson, whom left psychology and took up a career in advertising. no doubt Miranda read the book  |

I STILL have a pile of Nikons. Considering starting a collection of Ricoh SLRs and RFs.

Robert - that's neat. You almost have to keep the Goodwill sticker on it forever now. Like a "Rome" or "Paris" sticker on an old suitcase, it shows that this camera spent some time in a half-way house. It's been places!

Every time I thought I had a chance on a Miranda the price went a little out of reach.
