Miranda, soligor?

I bought at $ 25 (ship not necesary) a miranda sensomat. The cam's condition is mint (is it so good?). The lens needs clean, but not fungus or scratches (few tiny clean marks only) and the blades, OK.

The cam is solid. But the lens, if I don't remeber badly it's a soligor lens, that was very publicited in the 60's ending .

Anybody knows the miranda 1,8/50?? What about it?

More thanks, Rino.

Miranda didn't make lenses, and neither did Soligor.

Soligor supplied lenses directly for Miranda, some under their name, but obviously got them from someone else.

It looks like Miranda lenses came from several makers, like Zunow, Kowa, etc. Some Soligors look like they came from Kowa according to the Miranda site, so maybe yours is one of them.

in the 70's MOST (not all) miranda & soligor lenses were made by tokina
When AIC (Miranda + Soligor) bankrupted.. The biggest debt was to Tokina
