Overview

The Miranda 28mm f/2.8 MC Macro is a vintage prime lens offering excellent value for under $30/£20, particularly for video use on APS-C cameras where it provides a ~50mm equivalent field of view. Optical performance is praised as sharp, with one commenter claiming it outperforms Nikon lenses under magnification (Earl hunt). Build quality is good, with the reviewed copy in excellent condition. It uses an M42 mount (dsb476Dan). The lens suits budget-conscious videographers and photographers seeking a compact, sharp normal-angle lens for crop-sensor cameras.
