Black Miranda F with Metered Prism and 50mm f/1.9 lens and case

Overview

The Miranda F is a classic 35mm SLR featuring interchangeable viewfinders, a robust metal body and the well‑regarded 50mm F/1.9 standard lens. This black‑finished example includes the metered prism, which is working, and the original 50mm F/1.9 lens. The camera is fully functional but has two disclosed issues: shutter speeds are not varying appropriately, and the lens shows minor fungus. Supplied with its case.
