GrumpyTim | Miranda Automex III - A Forgotten Gem from the 1960s @GrumpyTim | Uploaded 1 year ago | Updated 2 hours ago
Many people will remember Miranda cameras in the 1980s, by which time they were just rebadged cameras from another manufacturer (I think it was Cosina or something like that), but back in the 60s, Miranda were actually manufacturing some really nice cameras such as the Automex III featured in this video.
My particular copy of the Automex III was in pretty bad shape when I first got it, due to battery leakage and poor storage conditions, but after a considerable amount of work I now have a fully functional camera to use and enjoy.
In the video I'll demonstrate the camera and it's controls, talk a little about the repair process and show sample shots taken using the camera.
Film used in the Automex III: Ilford FP4 125 ISO
