Miranda Light Meter

or no longer working. I will clean the unit and determine if it is
repairable. Does anyone know of an alternative part which can be
retrofitted into the camera? I would like to keep the body going as I have
multiple lenses and enjoy its general feel.

I have the Sensorex EE model with the same meter problem. (Miranda
syndrome?)
Repairable or not?
I must wait to the end of may (I hope for positive answer).Then I can
send you a news.
I like my Miranda too. I find it as great manual body with spot or
evaluated metering system.
It's my backup camera with only 50/1,8 lens - I can't find something
more.

break with age and use.
Also the meters can stick due to dirty bearings in the movement. Check the
battery compartment for corrosion as well as the switch contacts. The
Sensorex II is a great body with interchangeable finders--easy to keep the
finder clean. GW.

All MIRANDA E, EC and SOLIGOR EC lenses will work on the EE with full
automation. All previous MIRANDA or SOLIGOR lenses with internal
diaphragm control, can be used with stop-down metering. For more infos

also have several handheld light meters and recommend that you get a good
small one. That way, you can continue using the Mirandas for as long as the
shutters last. The Mirandas are not valuable enough to make it economically
sensible to repair them IMHO ( I have 5 and paid no more than $35-50 for any
of them). They have excellent lenses and some of mine even have
interchangeable viewfinders. I enjoy using them and the separate meter,
while not quite as handy as a built-in meter, will let me continue to use
these excellent machines for a long time.
I have a lot of older cameras and many without built-in meters. I can use
the separate meter with each of them. Once you get one (a meter), and learn
its capabilities and unique qualities, you can quickly transfer the readings
to your camera controls. I prefer the Gossen Luna Pro F, but it is
ig( well bigger than most of my shirt pockets). For that reason, I most
often carry the small, light Sekonic Digilite F, model L-328. It is about
the size of a pack of cigarettes and just a little heavier. It seems to be
as accurate as my Minolta meters including the Flashmeter IV and handles
both incident, reflective, and flash readings. Very handy. Separate meters
let you buy used cameras very cheaply because the METERS DON'T WORK. The
cameras may be perfect in every other way but because the meter does not
work, the seller is willing to let them go at a much reduced price.
Sorry for rambling on, but the separate meter has let me use a lot of the
older finer machines (Rolleis, Leicas) that might otherwise have been given
up for dead or which did not have meters in the first place. Just my two
cents.
