Miranda T (Miranda)

The Miranda T is a 35mm SLR from the Japanese maker Miranda Camera Company, introduced in the 1950s as one of the brand's early interchangeable-lens models. It was aimed at enthusiasts seeking a system camera with waist- or eye-level viewing, and today it is primarily of interest to collectors of post-war Japanese SLRs.

At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the Miranda T have ranged from around £110 to £1,600, with results clustering around a median near £700 — wholesale saleroom levels that exclude buyer's and seller's commission. Values are highly condition-sensitive, and as of 2026 the strongest prices are reserved for complete, cosmetically clean examples with original finders and working shutters, while rougher bodies sell for a fraction of that. Because so few change hands, any single sale can shift what the camera is currently worth.
