Miranda EE CineStill 400D
A visit to the "Musée de la Civilisation Gallo-Romaine", Lyon, France, on October 27, 2022, accompanied by my SLR Miranda Auto Sensorex EE.
The camera was loaded with a CineStill 400 Dynamic (400D) and configured with the loupe finder X5 and x15 and its normal lens Auto Miranda E 1:1.8 f=50 mm fitting original Miranda 52mm Skylight filter.
The film was exposed for 400 ISO following the readings of the camera (measuring mode "S") or a Minolta Autometer III fitted with a 10° finder. Indoor exposures were hand-held typically at 1/30s and full aperture. The film was then developed using a local C-41 development local service.

After process the film was digitalized using a Sony A7 body and a Minolta Slide Duplicator with a Minolta Auto Bellows III with a lens Minolta Bellow Macro Rokkor 50mm f/3.5.

About the camera :
This camera was initially sold out on March 15, 1972 to a first customer in Abbeville, France, and resold as a second hand by "Photo Ciné Saint Lazare", Paris, France one year later at spring 1973.
The camera was sold to me in March 2022 with the three finders available, three lenses Miranda Auto E, 1:1.8 f=50 mm, 1:2.8 f=28 mm, 1:2.8 f=105 mm all equipped with Miranda Skylight 52 mm filters.
EE stands for "Electric Eye", a system of diaphragm automated by the circuitry operating two CdS cells located behind the reflex mirror and making the photometry independent of the finders. The Miranda EE has two measuring mode : the pondered A (A as "Ambiant") and the S (spot) with the possibility to "memorize" the light value standing the release button at mid course as on modern camera's. the whole photometric system is fully functional on this camera and gives reading similar to a trusted external silicium electronic photometer (Minolta Auto Meter III).
