Miranda T (Orion)
The Miranda T, also marketed under the Orion name, is a 35mm single-lens reflex camera from Japan and one of the earliest SLRs produced by the maker. It was introduced in the mid-1950s as an enthusiast SLR and is significant primarily as the model that established Miranda as an SLR manufacturer.
Sales data for the Miranda T (Orion) is extremely thin: a single UK auction record from 2005 saw an example hammer at £720, a wholesale-level result rather than a retail price. With only one data point this old, today's market value is not reliably established, and recent comparable hammer prices would be needed to state what a Miranda T sells for now in 2026.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Miranda T (Orion) worth?
Auction evidence is sparse; the only recorded UK hammer price in our data is £720 from 2005, so a current market value cannot be stated with confidence without fresh sales.
How much does a Miranda T sell for at auction?
The single verified UK auction hammer result on file is £720, which reflects wholesale saleroom pricing before commission rather than a dealer asking price.
Is the Miranda T the same as the Orion?
Yes, the camera was sold under both the Miranda T and Orion names, and collectors treat them as the same model when assessing price and value.
