Miranda introduced the Miranda B in 1959. It was similar to a Miranda A/AII but offered an instant return mirror. The model was followed by the Miranda C — essentially the same camera with the addition of a self-timer[1].

This was one of the earlier brands of SLR to offer an instant-return mirror (although not as early as the 1954 Asahiflex Ib).
