Great build quality, all-metal construction, and a beautiful, low-profile optic that fits well on the massive Sensorex body without seeming too small. That said, the lens itself is still easy to use, with a nice scalloped grip for the focusing helical, which is still smooth, and you can move quickly from infinity to 30 centimetres. That said, the aperture ring still lacks a good click for each stop, but that&#8217;s a common problem I have with all Miranda lenses.

In fact, I would rate this one pretty high in regards to optical quality and image quality. Now in my case I did mess up a bit with the test chart, my focusing was a bit off and I think I jostled the camera a little bit when taking the shot. There is a bit of distortion when focusing in close, which doesn&#8217;t surprise me but it is not too bad and can be easily fixed in post-processing. Where the lens shines is that it is sharp from wide open to fully stopped down. When shooting wide-open there is no vignetting and only a slight amount of fall-off on your corners. Once you&#8217;ve stopped down to f\/4 that fall-off disappears. And then it remains sharp across the range and even stopped down there&#8217;s no real refraction. The out-of-focusing rendering is good, it&#8217;s clean and smooth but no interesting aspects of it. Making it a great lens to shoot wide-open when you want good subject separation without the rendering being a distraction. The lens does have a tendency to flare with off-axis light, so a simple lens hood is a good match, you can easily get a rubber hood or use something from a similar lens from another system for a metal screw-in hood. Just don&#8217;t get too crazy with the addition of a hood or you might introduce vignetting as the edges will creep into the field of view.<\/p>\n<p><figure style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a data-flickr-embed=\"true\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/axle81401\/55269543153\/in\/album-72157712066322363\" title=\"Optical Review No.61 - Auto Miranda 1:2.8 f&#x3D;35mm\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/55269543153_bccd614198_b.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" alt=\"Optical Review No.61 - Auto Miranda 1:2.8 f&#x3D;35mm\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><script async src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>Miranda Sensorex &#8211; Auto Miranda 1:2.8 f=35mm &#8211; Kodak TMax 100 @ ASA-100 &#8211; Fujifilm Microfine (1+1) 13:30 @ 20C (Constant Rotation)<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a data-flickr-embed=\"true\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/axle81401\/55269640819\/in\/album-72157712066322363\" title=\"Optical Review No.61 - Auto Miranda 1:2.8 f&#x3D;35mm\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/55269640819_c348d859bf_b.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"675\" alt=\"Optical Review No.61 - Auto Miranda 1:2.8 f&#x3D;35mm\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><script async src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>Miranda Sensorex &#8211; Auto Miranda 1:2.8 f=35mm &#8211; Kodak TMax 100 @ ASA-100 &#8211; Fujifilm Microfine (1+1) 13:30 @ 20C (Constant Rotation)<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a data-flickr-embed=\"true\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/axle81401\/55268496847\/in\/album-72157712066322363\" title=\"Optical Review No.61 - Auto Miranda 1:2.8 f&#x3D;35mm\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/55268496847_03de106b47_b.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"675\" alt=\"Optical Review No.61 - Auto Miranda 1:2.8 f&#x3D;35mm\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><script async src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>Miranda Sensorex &#8211; Auto Miranda 1:2.8 f=35mm &#8211; Kodak TMax 100 @ ASA-100 &#8211; Fujifilm Microfine (1+1) 13:30 @ 20C (Constant Rotation)<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a data-flickr-embed=\"true\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/axle81401\/55268496842\/in\/album-72157712066322363\" title=\"Optical Review No.61 - Auto Miranda 1:2.8 f&#x3D;35mm\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/55268496842_75b150a9ce_b.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"660\" alt=\"Optical Review No.61 - Auto Miranda 1:2.8 f&#x3D;35mm\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><script async src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>Miranda Sensorex &#8211; Auto Miranda 1:2.8 f=35mm &#8211; Kodak TMax 100 @ ASA-100 &#8211; Fujifilm Microfine (1+1) 13:30 @ 20C (Constant Rotation)<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a data-flickr-embed=\"true\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/axle81401\/55269409546\/in\/album-72157712066322363\" title=\"Optical Review No.61 - Auto Miranda 1:2.8 f&#x3D;35mm\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/55269409546_a62549bb43_b.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"698\" alt=\"Optical Review No.61 - Auto Miranda 1:2.8 f&#x3D;35mm\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><script async src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>Miranda Sensorex &#8211; Auto Miranda 1:2.8 f=35mm &#8211; Kodak TMax 100 @ ASA-100 &#8211; Fujifilm Microfine (1+1) 13:30 @ 20C (Constant Rotation)<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/p>\n<p><strong>Applications<\/strong><br \/>\nAs I mentioned in the introduction, a 35mm is an excellent general-purpose everyday lens. And the Miranda 35\/2.8 is no different; it&#8217;s the perfect mix, it is neither too narrow nor too wide. Given you a near match to what we see, with only a bit of our peripheral vision cut off. This is a great lens for travel, documentary, and some editorial work. If you&#8217;re one to get in close for street photography, the 35mm is a great choice, and its fast f\/2.8 aperture lets you be at the right distance to achieve good subject separation from the background. And you can even get a bit stealthy when pairing it with a waist-level finder. While it might be a bit narrow for architectural work, it works well if you have enough space; it also does a good job with landscapes when you want a narrower field of view.<\/p>\n<p><figure style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a data-flickr-embed=\"true\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/axle81401\/55269409551\/in\/album-72157712066322363\" title=\"Optical Review No.61 - Auto Miranda 1:2.8 f&#x3D;35mm\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/55269409551_ffcc3d175c_b.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"675\" alt=\"Optical Review No.61 - Auto Miranda 1:2.8 f&#x3D;35mm\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><script async src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>Miranda Sensorex &#8211; Auto Miranda 1:2.8 f=35mm &#8211; Kodak TMax 100 @ ASA-100 &#8211; Fujifilm Microfine (1+1) 13:30 @ 20C (Constant Rotation)<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a data-flickr-embed=\"true\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/axle81401\/55268496887\/in\/album-72157712066322363\" title=\"Optical Review No.61 - Auto Miranda 1:2.8 f&#x3D;35mm\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/55268496887_b79c5ba6e2_b.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"655\" alt=\"Optical Review No.61 - Auto Miranda 1:2.8 f&#x3D;35mm\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><script async src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>Miranda Sensorex &#8211; Auto Miranda 1:2.8 f=35mm &#8211; Kodak TMax 100 @ ASA-100 &#8211; Fujifilm Microfine (1+1) 13:30 @ 20C (Constant Rotation)<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a data-flickr-embed=\"true\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/axle81401\/55269409506\/in\/album-72157712066322363\" title=\"Optical Review No.61 - Auto Miranda 1:2.8 f&#x3D;35mm\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/55269409506_57e0e051db_b.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" alt=\"Optical Review No.61 - Auto Miranda 1:2.8 f&#x3D;35mm\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><script async src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>Miranda Sensorex &#8211; Auto Miranda 1:2.8 f=35mm &#8211; Kodak TMax 100 @ ASA-100 &#8211; Fujifilm Microfine (1+1) 13:30 @ 20C (Constant Rotation)<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a data-flickr-embed=\"true\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/axle81401\/55269640779\/in\/album-72157712066322363\" title=\"Optical Review No.61 - Auto Miranda 1:2.8 f&#x3D;35mm\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/55269640779_32a4ff9167_b.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"680\" alt=\"Optical Review No.61 - Auto Miranda 1:2.8 f&#x3D;35mm\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><script async src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>Miranda Sensorex &#8211; Auto Miranda 1:2.8 f=35mm &#8211; Kodak TMax 100 @ ASA-100 &#8211; Fujifilm Microfine (1+1) 13:30 @ 20C (Constant Rotation)<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a data-flickr-embed=\"true\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/axle81401\/55269640759\/in\/album-72157712066322363\" title=\"Optical Review No.61 - Auto Miranda 1:2.8 f&#x3D;35mm\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/55269640759_2e787e80c7_b.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"675\" alt=\"Optical Review No.61 - Auto Miranda 1:2.8 f&#x3D;35mm\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><script async src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>Miranda Sensorex &#8211; Auto Miranda 1:2.8 f=35mm &#8211; Kodak TMax 100 @ ASA-100 &#8211; Fujifilm Microfine (1+1) 13:30 @ 20C (Constant Rotation)<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/p>\n<p><strong>The Low Down<\/strong><br \/>\nLike many Miranda lenses, these can be difficult to find on the used market.

If you do find ones on the used market, they are priced between 80 and 100 dollars, which is a fair price for the optics.
