Miranda's predecessor, Orion Precision Machinery, started with prototype cameras in 1954 and entered the camera manufacturing industry in earnest.
Starting with Miransa T, the cameras are continuously developed such as ST, A1, All, B, C, D, DR, S and Sensolex series. The Miranda camera is designed to be interchangeable with pentaprism except for some models.
After that, several cameras were released, and although it was made in Japan for its special structure and performance, Miranda was rather recognized in Europe.
However, from September 1968, AIC (Allied Inpex Corporation), which was Miranda's Americas sales agency, was pushed by majors such as the original powerful Nikon and Canon.
Capital participation in Miranda Camera began, and in January 1969, founder Mr. Ogiwara resigned as chairman, and AIC acquired all of its shares.
Even after that, technological innovation did not get on track and management deteriorated.
At the end of the year of 1976, Miranda faced bankruptcy when funds from A.I.C were suddenly cut off.
In the 1980s, British company DIXONS used this brand in photography equipment, but it is no longer in use.

It is a maker that has disappeared in the back of history, but a company called Miranda is not a family with skeletons like Nikon and Canon.
It is of great significance that it was a venture business that arose out of the ashes of Japan after World War II.
The Miranda I got was a streamlined Miranda (1962-1966), with a dodecagonal body changed to a streamlined shape, and a built-in exposure meter
The signal transmission between the iris and the body is handled by a pair of arms.
Sensolex was produced from 1967 to 1972. It became a fish in a total of 7 versions, almost similar, but slightly different.
