The camera “Miranda FG-Z” is made by Miranda. It is an uncomplicated camera for the 35 mm format and was manufactured in Asia by the company Haking. Thailand is given as the country of manufacture.
A functionally identical model is the Haking Quick, which was also available under other names. Details can be found under the given link.
The model has a fixed lens that is not interchangeable. It has a focal length of 33 mm. No adjustment of the focus is possible with this unit. A sliding door serves as protection for the lens.
This camera does not have an integrated exposure meter. A control on the front panel allows the film speed to be selected, with options for ISO 100/200, ISO 400 and ISO 1000. Depending on the sensitivity selected, the camera uses different apertures. The shutter speed is constant and is around 1/125 second.
An integrated flash helps to achieve clear pictures in low light conditions. The flash can be activated via a slider directly below it.
The power source of the unit is two AAA batteries (eBay / Amazon*), which are mainly needed for the flash. Without using the flash, battery operation is also not required.
Film options for the Miranda FG-Z
The Miranda FG-Z is designed for 35mm film. These films are still readily available and are developed by many photo labs. A recommended colour film is the Kodak Gold 200*, while the Ilford Delta 400* is suitable for black and white shots. Manufacturers such as Foma, Adox and Rollei offer other 35mm films.
Colour film is developed using the C-41 process. Almost all developing suppliers can process this type. Black and white film can be developed both professionally and privately, with instructions available online.
A typical roll of film holds about 36 frames. The user must manually advance and rewind the film, which can be done via a button at the bottom and a crank at the top of the plastic housing.
