PERSONAL NOTES

The Miranda Sensorex is from another era, a lot of mechanical pinions and gears, a heavy body, with weird ways of dooing simple things. The front side of the finder is typical on Miranda cameras, it gives its distinctive look.

There are no automatic or semi-automatic modes, only manuel, but there is a light meter wich is manually activated by a switch on the top left side of the body. Do not forget to put beck the meter to off to spare your batteries.

The coupling betwen the lens and body has automatic aperture control, but the lens has no way to tell the body what is the maximum aperture of the lens in order for the meter to work properly, so there is a round selector on the front of the body to choose the maximum aperture of the lens.

In my hands, the ergonomics is not the best, but the camera is heavy and feels solid. The shutter button, instead of beign on the top, is on the front of the camera, which needs a little time to get used to.

CONCLUSION

The Miranda Sensorex is heavier and more cumbersome than many other newer SLRs. I would suggest you steer clear of Miranda SLRs cameras unless you are curious about camera evolution.
