Miranda Model F SLR & Hanimex 35mm f/3.5 Lens
Miranda Model F SLR & Hanimex 35mm f/3.5 Lens
Lens: Hanimex 35mm f/3.5 M44 Lens
Film Format: 35mm
Lens Mount: M44
Shutter: B/1to 1/1000 sec
Aperture: f/3.5 to f/22
Focusing: Manual
Year: 1963 - Onwards
Country: Japan
The good:
· For a 60-year-old camera, it is in remarkably good condition.
· Shutter fires well, and tested exposures reveal no timing issues.
· Film transport arm is smooth.
· Swappable viewfinder, allowing for the installation of a waist level viewfinder (Not included).
· Aperture blades move freely.
The less good:
· The viewfinder has some debris. This does not affect image quality, nor usability.
· The lens itself has a few specs of dust, but nothing that is noticeable in the final images. I can see some clouding at the edge of one of the mid elements, but only when looking from the front element back, rather than through the viewfinder (see attached sample photos)
· The focus ring is a little loose but focuses accurately.
· General wear and tear.
