Auto Miranda 135mm f3.5, had this lens for a few years
But haven't shot with it.
I bought it with rear cap, case, and factory hood, still need a front
Lens cap, tho.

This is the second version. First version has an arm and clickless aperture.
2nd version no arm, and aperture clicks.

Lens is: 6/6. 95 x 59. 46mm filter thread. 460 grams.

1st test shot Auto Miranda 135mm f3.5 at f5.6 on Panasonc G5.

Good one Walter.
Since we have been talking Miranda I have done a little reading on the net - it is a dog's breakfast, and trying to put everything together re Miranda is difficult as far as I can see.
In relation to the 135mm there is supposedly a very good "short barrel" 135mm Miranda.
I am unsure what this refers to or where abouts in the chronology it sits.
Any thoughts?
Tom

Test shot Miranda 135mm f3.5 wide open on Panasonic G5.
I did use the factory hood. I wanted to test how the lens handled
Extreme light conditions.

Thanks.

Yes, I think you mean the Miranda Auto E 135mm f2.8. I haven't tried it so I'm not sure on
How it performs. Besides being shorter, it is a 5/5 design instead of 6/6.

Tom, after more research. I think you might be asking about the Soligor Miranda 13.5cm f3.5 short barrel lens for the Focabell.
Check this link.

Thank you Walter.
Yes, I could not understand which 135 it was, and thought it was a regular 135 lens.
I actually have that lens on the Focabell - which was the other one that came with the camera along with the 1.8/50
I will have to use it and see how it goes.
Tom

Some time ago, I have read in Shutterbug magazine, an article of Miranda G camera, the soligor/miranda lenses and how it was compare with Nikon, canon, Konica gear.

With the 35, 50 and 105 lenses, only the Konica had better rendering.

Not bad at all.

Thanks, That's very interesting. I really do like the rendering of the Miranda lenses I've shot with.
