Thanks everyone. My son recently was relocated to W.by God Virginia. ,The Mill is a few minutes from his home. I have been there several times already. So many photo-ops near there. Contemplating on going there next month and getting some snow scenes also.

You are right, a top notch camera. I still have my Sensorex, 50mm, 28mm, and 135mm along with the Miranda bellows. They all look like new and function perfectly. I belonged to a large camera club back then and did a lot of competitions. Nobody could believe the quality of my b&w prints and it was due mainly to the quality of the lenses they produced. My father was a avid photographer and used all Miranda cameras as well. I switched to Minolta many years ago and currently shooting with Sony's.
In the news article that I read, he will not be allowed conjugal visits. He will be allowed to kiss her at the beginning and end of their allowed visits in the presence of prison guards.
My oldest film is a Miranda Sensorex. Fabulous camera and among the sharpest lenses. Been shooting Minolta for past 40 yrs. or more. Digital I have a Minolta 7D which is 11 yrs. old and has been a real workhorse for me. Since I have a lot of Minolta gear I bought throughout the yrs. I now shoot Sony because it al retro fits. I currently have a Sony A700 and The A77. Also have a Fuiji X20 for a carry everywhere camera.
I don't own a cameraphone.but if you want to see what can be accomplished with one check this site out. I have been to several classes of Jerry's and have seen beautiful prints up to 16x20 taken with his iphone.

Join a camera club in your area. The learning curve is endless and you will meet some amazing photographers.
I joined my first club over 40 yrs. ago, still belong to several and am currently the president of Heartland CC.
My first slr was a Miranda Sensorex. One great camera indeed. I also have a 50mm, 28mm,135mm lens and a Miranda bellows for it. Their lenses were some of the sharpest lens available back in their day. I still have it and it works great although I have been shooting digital for some time now.
I have been a avid photographer for last 50 yrs. Started with B/W and then to shooting slide film. Switched to digital 9 yrs. ago. Most of my shooting was done with Minolta gear and then switched to Sony. Photo was taken with Sony A700 and Tamron 17-50 mm.
A very often photographed mill in west Virginia. Mill was not operating due to drought in the area, hence no water going over the wheel.
I still own a Miranda Sensorex along with a number of lenses for it. They built great cameras and their lenses were super sharp. They were the only Japanese camera manufacturer that was 100% USA owned.
