Introduced in 1971, the Miranda Sensorex EE (also known as Auto Sensorex EE) is a shutter-priority, auto exposure 35mm film SLR camera introduced by Miranda in 1971. The standard lens was an Auto Miranda E f/1.8 50mm.
It uses a focal plane shutter with speeds of 1 to 1/1000 sec. plus a B mode. The self-timer has a delay of 10 seconds. Metering patterns are switchable between partial and spot. The full aperture TTL exposure meter uses a CdS cell with a range of 3 to 18 EV (ASA 100 with 50mm f/1.4 lens). The viewfinder prism housing is interchangeable.
