Miranda Camera References
As far as I know, there is still no definitive book on the history and products of MIRANDA
CAMERA CO, although several of the serious collectors have been preparing material for
some time. The books below are contemporary to the Miranda, best found in Half Price Books
or other used stock stores. Sometimes these books come up for sale on www.ebay.com, too.
There are also magazine articles, but I have not yet started a comprehensive list of
these. If you can read Dutch, the initial article listed offers a good historical overview
of the models and major accessories. Contributions and additions to this list are, of
course, most welcome.
For service manuals, a number of these are available as copies through Oldtimer Cameras in
the UK. I'll list and comment on the ones I know about..

Sensorex EE - comprehensive book, some of the parts diagrams and assembly are not terribly clear Sensomat - IMHO the best generic Miranda manual, with good troubleshooting sections and usually clear illustrations F - exploded diagram - useful mainly for parts identification |
