Miranda FV 35mm SLR Film Camera with Miranda 50mm F1.4 Lens! #741732
The Miranda Fv belonged to group of Miranda cameras and made around 1967
The included lens is excellent and desirable.
The Miranda Fv boasts a fairly standard layout and excellent specifications for the time, but also offered some neat additional features and quirks.
- The Fv (and other models) have two separate shutter release buttons; one in the usual location on the user's right of the top plate (although this was a screw-in post, and is frequently missing), and the other on the front of the camera body.
- A delightful design quirk can be found in the frame counter, where the marker that points to a digit on an arc of numbers changes colour from white to red when the film is wound.
- The shutter speed dial has central post with a coin sized slot ... to enable its easy removal. This is to allow the fitting of a snap on exposure meter, which couples to the shutter speed dial. The snap on was made for the Fv, as an alternative to the T prism meter. The snap on is a direct measurement device (i.e. not TTL).
The Miranda FV is a 35mm single-lens reflex (SLR) film camera that was produced by Miranda Camera Co. Ltd. in Japan in the 1960s. The camera is notable for its solid build quality, simple and intuitive operation, and compatibility with a wide range of high-quality lenses.
The Miranda FV features a durable metal body with a leatherette covering, a large and bright pentaprism viewfinder, and a vertically-traveling metal blade shutter that can operate from 1/1000 to 1 second. The camera also has a built-in light meter that provides exposure readings through the viewfinder.
The Miranda 50mm F1.4 lens is a high-quality prime lens that is designed to work with the Miranda FV camera. It features a fast maximum aperture of F1.4, which makes it ideal for low-light photography and shallow depth-of-field effects. The lens has a minimum focusing distance of 0.6 meters and can accept standard 55mm screw-on filters.
Overall, the Miranda FV and Miranda 50mm F1.4 lens combination is a classic and reliable setup that offers excellent image quality and versatility for both amateur and professional photographers.
