Miranda's metered-manual SLR — the Sensomat, mechanical, Miranda mount, 1969.

The Miranda Sensomat was a 35mm film SLR made from 1969 by the Japanese maker Miranda, one of the earlier independent SLR firms. It used the distinctive Miranda mount, which combined a bayonet with an internal screw thread, and belonged to Miranda's metered-manual line before the company closed in the mid-1970s.

It is a single-lens-reflex camera for 35mm film on the Miranda mount. The Sensomat used stop-down TTL metering and a mechanically controlled focal-plane shutter with a cloth curtain, operated in metered manual, so it can fire without a battery, the cell powering only the meter. A notable Miranda feature was the removable prism finder shared across the range.

It suits users interested in a less common Japanese SLR of the period and those who like the interchangeable-finder design. Handling is conventional for a late-1960s body, though the stop-down metering asks the user to work a little more deliberately than open-aperture systems.

On the used market the Sensomat is uncommon and Miranda-mount lenses are limited in supply, since the company folded and the mount was never widely adopted. Check the foam seals and mirror-damper foam, confirm the mechanical shutter fires at all speeds with the battery out, and test the meter, noting many were built for mercury cells. Inspect the prism for desilvering, check advance and rewind, and be aware repair and parts support are scarce.
