Miranda Solo Twin MD 35mm Point & Click Film Camera

£17.95

Out of stock

Miranda was originally a Japanese company who took on the name from 1957 until 1976. In 1981 it was brought by Dixons, the UK electronics retailer and this camera (from 1991) is a part of that line.

This ‘Solo Twin’ i silver camera is a slightly quirky point and shoot with two lenses on a rotating plate in the body, labelled ‘normal’ and ‘wide’. Engaging the ‘normal’ lens brings a mask into the viewfinder to reflect the narrower field of view.

The ‘normal’ lens is a f/8 45mm 2 element plastic lens, while the ‘wide’ is f/8 33mm 3 element plastic lens. The ‘normal’ fixed focus 1.8m to infinity, while the ‘wide’ is 1.5m to infinity.

The camera is fully automatic transport, has DX sensing and a light meter next to the viewfinder. It also has a fully automatic flash, with a button for fill flash on the bottom corner. It has a sliding lens cover.

Every camera we sell is vigorously inspected by our team. Our ten-part inspection method includes the following checks:

  1. Lens – we check for any mould, dust, haze, dirt, cracks and air bubbles. Where possible we clean/remove any imperfections – any remaining are noted.
  2. Zoom – we inspect both manual and power zoom work smoothly. Any issues are noted.
  3. Focus – we check that manual focus is smooth and works well. If automatic focus is included as a feature that is also checked.
  4. Motor / Claw – we check that the motor runs smoothly at all advertised speeds and that the film claw has sufficient torque to advance film.
  5. Filmgate – this is inspected and any dirt or hair is removed.
  6. Lightmeter – the lightmeter is inspected to ensure it automatically reacts correctly to light. Manual aperture control and/or backlight is also checked if included as a feature.
  7. Viewfinder – we inspect for mould, dust and haze or damage. Where possible we clean/remove any imperfections – any remaining is noted.
  8. Battery terminals – we inspect for rust/corrosion, cleaning and repairing where needed.
  9. Body – where possible we clean any imperfections. Any remaining cosmetic damage is noted.
  10. Additional Features – all additional model specific features (such as timelapse or crossfade) are checked for functionality.

Unless specifically mentioned in the product description, all items sold through our website have passed the above inspection and are fully working.
