The first 50mm /2.0 lens was another matter. It was the best 50 mm lens I have ever used!!! They must have made a mistake when they made it! I returned the camera to get the shutter fixed, and listening to the dealer also included the lens. Guess what? They gave me a new camera body AND lens, even though I wrote them to return the original lens. The news lens was not very good, but it worked. I then went through 2 more bodies and 50 lenses before returning the whole thing to the dealer and buying a new Nikon F + 50/2.0 lens. Guess what - the lens was defective. I sent it and my test film to Nikon - My wife call me at work, you got a letter from Nikon - read it to me - They verify that the lens is defective and they sent me another one, which I used for years. I don't think the Sensorex was a very good camera, if I remember correctly. Had trouble with metering. I thought it looked pretty neat though. I wouldn't give you $ 100 for it. Don't know if it has any collector's value. Dick Hemingway Norman, OK >What's with the Miranda? I looked in the KEH catalog and found them to >sell >for around $100 in EX cond. Anybody ever use one?
