There were two qualities of Miranda here though, up to the early
eighties they were a manufacturer of good quality camera equipment. Then
they got bought by Dixons, and were just branded cheap stuff from the
far east. Unfortunately I bought the latter quality.

Mind you, the actual quality of a picture is going to be controlled by
the quality of the lens anyway. If the lens is going to produce a ****e
image, then the rest doesn't really matter.


Some folks with Holgas tend to disprove that. Jennifer Shaw's "Railroad
Ties" is a good example: http://www.shotsmag.com/shots89-07.jpg

Well, yes, but the applications are somewhat limited. It's a bit like a
one trick filter.
