Originally posted by TomB_tx I still have a Sensorex - very neat camera. I believe the guys starting Orion cooperated with the early Pentax team to use some ideas from each other. I think the Orion T became the Miranda. Still looking for an early Orion...
Actually never heard of 'Orion' cameras at all, and that's probably saying something.
But, yeah, those Sensorexes are kind of like driving an old Lincoln, "There's absolutely no practical reason to be driving this, but they're kinda classy. Look, this camera actually comes with a chrome grill and a vinyl top!" (Among your choices of dim interchangeable viewfinders.) So nice, though.
An exuberance of fine craftsmanship, clever levers, and gagetry, very little under the hood. It's why my uncle gave me his, I'm sure.
(Here's to my uncle, by the way. He also first introduced me to the Mamiya 645 when I was knee-high to a Beseler. I do use one of those. (Well, both of those, actually.)
