Overview

The Miranda Auto 50 mm f/1.4 is an 8-element, 6-group fast fifty with a compact build and 46 mm filter thread. Optically, it shows strong vignetting at wide apertures but sharpens significantly by f/2, achieving near-perfect corners at f/11. Its color rendition and bokeh are praised, though the aperture ring is heavy yet clicky. The lens uses a proprietary Miranda mount, requiring a specific adapter. It suits photographers seeking a unique, characterful vintage lens with good stopped-down performance.
