"non" Mirandas. The UK photographic chain DIXONS imported a range of cameras, lenses and acccessories into the UK during the late 1980's and early 1990's.   These cameras were in reality badge-engineered COSINA reflexes with a Pentax K mount, of which the most common is the MS-1 illustrated below. As far as we know, there is no connection with the products made by the original Miranda Camera Co.

"MIRANDA" MS-1 1988/92? ? Compact COSINA based model, K mount, copal square shutter, LED metering MS-1_body_front.jpg (32753 bytes)
