In a couple of days I'll be leaving for northern Michigan to attend Photostock 2015. Then, the film. I ALWAYS bring more than I will use in 4 days, but who knows what I'll end up shooting? Better to have too much than not enough! Weatherwise, this year may be wet and cool. It doesn't matter though. There will be enough to keep us busy.

Because the Kiwanis folks have volunteers that look over the items, you are more likely to find that things actually work. It's a good place to browse, but since it is only open on Saturday mornings, it can be quite packed and busy, too. Tom Nighswander, local photographer and Kiwanis volunteer. In the glass case. The Miranda Sensorex II is a beauty.

A few weeks ago I purchased a really nice example of a Miranda Sensorex II SLR at the Kiwanis sale. At $25, how could I not do so? It wasn't until a year later that I received an Exa IIa SLR, which of course, was primitive by comparison. I blame my lack of photographic ascendancy to that turn of events. Links to this post.

The Envoy was produced in the 1950s in England. It is a fixed focus wide-angle box camera that takes 120 film as well as 2 1/4 x 3 1/4 plates. The wire frame finder is all you need to gauge your composition. The rear part of the finder has parallax correction for close-ups. Since it is fixed focus, your closest focus is achieved with the smallest aperture:. F/11 - 10 - 60 ft.
