Miranda Camera Company
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Miranda Camera Company, originally named the Orion Camera Company, manufactured cameras in Japan between 1955 and 1978. Many of their products were single-lens reflex cameras for 135 film (35 mm).Apparently they didn't make their own lenses, and had to rely on other manufacturers to supply them.
All their SLR cameras had interchangeable pentaprims (released by twisting the base of the film rewind knob), and a unique dual external bayonet/M44 lens mount.
Unable to keep up with the increasing manufacturing automation of the larger manufacturers, and the increasingly sophisticated electronics of competing cameras, Miranda ceased producing cameras.
