Miranda — 28-85mm f/4-5 general-purpose zoom, primarily documented in Pentax K mount
This standard-to-short-telephoto zoom belongs to the same Dixons-distributed Miranda lens range as the brand's other 1980s optics, offered as a general-purpose option for owners of contemporary manual-focus SLR fittings.
It carries a variable f/4-5 maximum aperture across its 28-85mm range; independent retailer sources documenting this specific variant's filter thread, weight, minimum focus distance and full mount range were limited, and Pentax K is the best-documented fitting for the lens.
Positioned between the brand's 28-70mm and longer tele-zooms, it offers a wider practical range in a single lens at the cost of the more variable aperture and softer long-end performance typical of consumer superzoom designs from the period.
As with the rest of the range, secondhand demand and prices are low. Buyers should test the zoom and aperture coupling through the full range, check the barrel for play, and inspect the glass for coating wear before relying on it for regular use.
