[Leica] IMGs: Miranda Musings

[imra at iol.ie (Douglas Barry)]

Having a couple of lenses for my once used (10 years ago) Miranda 
Sensomatic RE, I bought yet another Fotodiox adapter for my Sony as the 
other ones (L39, M42, K, and OM mount) all seem to work well.

However, I'm not sure that the Miranda one is as effective as the 
others, or else the 25/2.8 Miranda lens isn't great. Ten years ago I ran 
one film through the camera when I picked it up in a charity shop, but, 
as I had Leicas, Nikons, etc. among my sixty cameras, I never got around 
to using it again. Here is a shot I took ten years ago with the lens

If I remember correctly, it was a b&w conversion too.

Anyway, here are the results using the Sony and the Fotodiox. The three 
links are versions of a single image.

I'll post another couple of different images later, but I'd say the 
lenses and its adapter will go back in a box until I have my darkroom 
set up again.
