Miranda Sensorex II

In the late 1960s, the SLR industry moved towards TTL measuring, so Miranda’s Automex models no longer cut it. A new model, the Sensorex, came to market in 1967. The body closely resembled the Automex, true to Miranda’s unchanged designs.

Other camera makers had the TTL metering mounted within the prism hump. They couldn’t do so with Miranda’s interchangeable viewers, so it was installed behind the mirror. To enable that, the mirror has a series of grooves to allow light to the meter. It doesn’t affect the viewer.

The Sensorex II followed with similar technical specs three years later, gaining little in the followers market. Other than the TTL measuring, it offered little over the Automex models. Same viewer system and same lens mount with on-body F stop settings. The US distributor, Allied Impex Corporation, dominant in Miranda’s management, had the nameplate to include AiC, standing for their initials.

The model I got, bought at a thrift store, suffered much abuse, so regrettably, I cannot comment more.
