Miranda Automex III

The Miranda Automex III, introduced in 1965, was a 35mm single-lens reflex camera featuring automatic exposure control, representing Miranda's entry into the automatic SLR market. The Japanese manufacturer, which operated from the 1950s to the 1970s, positioned this camera as an affordable alternative to more expensive automatic SLRs from established brands. The Automex III offered a modular design approach, allowing photographers to attach various accessories and viewfinders, which was somewhat innovative for the mid-1960s. While it didn't achieve the legendary status of contemporaries like the Nikon F, it played a role in making automatic exposure technology more accessible to photographers outside of professional circles.
