The FV T is a rare variant of the Miranda FV series, featuring a TTL metered prism and dual lens mount system (internal thread + external bayonet). The 50mm f/1.9 lens is sharp and fast, ideal for vintage shooting or display. This model is prized for its modular viewfinder system and precision build.

Collector Notes:

The FV T was Miranda’s push into TTL metering in the late 1960s, retaining the modularity and mechanical precision of earlier models. The stuck battery cover is a common issue due to age and corrosion. Many collectors use these cameras manually or swap prisms with non-metered finders. The lens is compatible with other Miranda bodies and known for its smooth rendering and solid build.
