Miranda 105mm Kodak ProImage 100
This the first color film with my lens Auto Miranda 1:2.8 f=105mm (year 1975) that I own since 2022. In Lyon, France, on June 13, 2023, accompanied by my SLR Miranda Auto Sensorex EE.(year 1972).
The camera was loaded with a color negative film Kodak ProImage 100 and configured with the regular pentaprism eye-level finder. The 105mm lens was also equipped during the photo session with a Nikon L38 anti-UV filter and a Nikon HS-4 metal shade hood specific of my Nikkor-P lens 1:2.5 f=105mm.
The film was exposed for 100 ISO following the readings of the camera (measuring mode "S") or of a Minolta Autometer III fitted with a 10° finder. Typically at I used the 1/250 to 1/1000s and apertures of 1/2.8 to 8.

After exposure, the film was processed the same day by a local lab service using the C-41 protocol. The film was then digitalized using a Sony A7 body fitted to a Minolta Slide Duplicator installed on a Minolta Auto Bellows III with a lens Minolta Bellow Macro Rokkor 50mm f/3.5. The RAW files obtained were processed without intermediate files in LR and edited to the final jpeg pictures.
All views of the film are presented in the dedicated album either in the printed framed versions and unframed full-size jpeg accompanied by some documentary smartphone Vivio Y76 color pictures.
About the camera :
This camera was initially sold to its first owner on March 15, 1972 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).
