Collectors Notes
Produced in the early 1970s, the EC 50mm f/1.4 was one of Miranda’s premium standard lenses, often paired with the DX-3 and Sensorex EE bodies. It features an 8-element optical formula and was manufactured during Miranda’s final years before the brand was absorbed by Allied Impex (Soligor). Though less common than M42 or K-mount equivalents, it remains a desirable collector’s item for its unique mount, fast aperture, and historical significance.
