Miranda Sesorex is a system SLR camera with a wide interchangeability of both viewfinders and lenses. It is TTL progression from the Automex models in 1967.
There are seven almost-the-same but distinct versions of Sensorex.
There are two very peculiar features in Miranda: the interchangeable prism (the Nikon F was the only other camera at the time with this feature), and the front-mounted shutter release.
Low noise shutter and vibration-free mirror mechanism.
After removing the pentaprism, the camera is fully functional, can still meter and focus, especially handy for close-up work.
Sensorex was the flagship model at that time. Miranda was apparently the first Japanese SLR manufacturer, and for a time, Miranda used to compete with Nikon and Topcon for build quality and optics.
The Miranda was also sold as Soligor in Europe.
The Miranda Camera Company, originally named the Orion Camera Company, manufactured cameras in Japan between 1955 and 1978. Their first camera was the Miranda T. Unlike many Japanese made cameras, Miranda did not make their own lenses and had to rely on other manufacturers to supply them.
Many Miranda SLRs had advanced or sophisticated features for their day. Almost all Miranda SLR's shared the same basic lens mount, but the mount complexity increased over the years to accommodate more aperture and metering controls.
Unable to keep up with the increasing manufacturing automation of the larger manufacturers, and the increasingly sophisticated electronics of competing cameras, Miranda ceased producing cameras.

This is my old SLR camera: EXA 1c made by Praktica in Dresden, DDR. I bought it in summer of 1987 in Dresden, for about 500 Marks, East German currency, but quite expensive for me then. No electronics at all in it, just mechanics and optics. Lenses signed: Tessar 2.8/50 Carl Zeiss - Jena. At that time I did a lot of slides shots with it, but now I didn't use it in last 4 or 5 years.

A collection of HP95LX pocket computers. These were Hewlett Packard's first hand-held programmable in DOS. Shown here in three versions - plain 512kb, labelled 512kb, and 1Mb memory.
Japanese 35mm compact rangefinder with CdS auto-exposure. Very small; this one's a bit shabby, but seems to work.
Well I know, my soldering is awful. It took a while to get this microcontroller to work, 4 days to be exact. Now it works as designed.

Not the enclosed Wal-Mart electronics department of bygone days years and years ago, but nostalgic-looking nonetheless. Very reminiscent of what the store in Olive Branch looked like prior to it's Project Impact remodel circa 2011-2012. The Wal-Mart Supercenter in Corinth Mississippi (now also a full Project Impact-ed "Walmart" unfortunately) had the enclosed electronics area until about a year ago (summer 2013), and had the even older decor package, with signange and such very similar to the Wal-Mart Random Retail recently posted pictures of: www.flickr.com/photos/walmart3/sets/72157645323256675. Why didn't I think to get pictures of the Corinth store back circa early 2012 when I was in it!?? I only have one photo on flickr of it's exterior, from back in October of that year: flic.kr/p/ff37xT.

NEW LONDON, Conn. -- U.S. Coast Guard Academy Superintendent Rear Adm. Sandra Stosz and Chief Petty Officer Michael Jury cut a ribbon June 25, 2013 to symbolize the official energizing of a solar panel system that has been installed on the roof of McAllister Hall. The energy generated from the solar panels feeds directly into the existing power grid used by the Academy. U.S. Coast Guard photo by Petty Officer 3rd Class Cory J. Mendenhall.

Bits and bobs
Pictures taken during exercising my hobby (electronics) and building/disassembling amplifiers and/or upgrading a record player tonearm and pre-amplifier. Anyway, a text was needed, to describe this lot, and here it is (the text and the lot, enjoy the pictures :)).
The Bore-Proof way to learn electronics--back when kids could complete their science fair projects with only a little help from Mom and Dad. This 65-in-1 Kit looks so cool that I'd like to buy one for my 20-year-old EE major at Texas Tech!
Oh for the days when Radio Shack was a nerd's paradise! And dig Mom's optical illusion style shirt. That's a science project in itself!

We have a new park/playground in town and this is one of the most popular games. The kids run around hitting the buttons on the posts and rack up scores.
Clever to take electronic games outside where the kids have to run and breathe fresh air!
