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.

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.

Clever to take electronic games outside where the kids have to run and breathe fresh air!
