Miranda F
The Miranda F is a 35mm SLR from the Japanese maker Miranda Camera Company, introduced in the early 1960s. It sat in the enthusiast tier of the Miranda range when new, aimed at users seeking interchangeable-lens reflex photography at a price below the established German marques.
Sales data for the Miranda F is thin: a single UK auction-hammer result in March 2025 saw an example sell for £81, which is the only confirmed wholesale data point on file as of today. With just one record, it is not possible to quote a meaningful range or median, and condition, completeness and the presence of a working lens will swing the price a buyer pays at saleroom level either side of that figure.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Miranda F worth today?
Based on the limited UK auction record on file, a Miranda F sells for around £81 at hammer, though with only one confirmed sale this figure should be treated as indicative rather than a firm market value.
How much does a Miranda F sell for at UK auction?
The most recent UK saleroom price on record is £81 (March 2025); clean, fully working examples with a lens may achieve more, while non-functional bodies typically fetch less.
Is the Miranda F a good buy at this price?
At under £100 it is an inexpensive entry into 1960s Japanese SLRs, but the lack of factory service support means the value is best realised when the camera is already working correctly.
