| Miranda F Camera with waist level finder plus Red Bespoke Strap |
The model for my latest red strap is a beautiful black Miranda F camera. The Miranda camera company produced dozens of different models from 1953 to 1978 when they disapeared from camera making. My model F was made around 1967 and is the only black Miranda F, I've ever seen.
I have a soft spot for over complex cameras, and the Miranda is very close to my heart. Miranda's marketing was about creating a camera that did everything, therefore it should appeal to everyone. Unfortunately, it didn't. The camera has two shutter releases, one on top, one on the front. Two lens mounts for screw or bayonet fitting lenses. Two flash sockets. Three viewfinders and three focusing systems. Lovely!

The Miranda sounds like quite a character with her special features overkill. Your straps are beautiful in the neutral colors, but isn't that classic red yummy!
