The Minox B is a subminiature camera made from c1958 to 1971 it had a selenium cel light meter coupled to a match-needle for spot on exposures and made 8x11mm negatives on 9.5mm film in special cassettes, Made in Germany by Minox plus viewer & cutter.
This is a Walton Colour Slide which was commercially available in the 1950s, the company was founded by James Beney in 1948, mainly producing 16mm and 9.5mm short films as well as slides. He took the name from Walton-on-Thames which was where he lived at the time. The company produced silent films of Royal Occasions, travelogues and latterly nudist films, the company did not survive the video boom of the early 1980s and folded in 1983, James Beney died in 1990. The slide shows two pearly queens collecting for the Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen Families Association in Piccadilly Circus. The view is from outside the Criterion Theatre looking north towards Shaftesbury Avenue with the billboard of the London Pavilion showing an advertisement for “Lucretia Borgia” which was a French language film made in 1953 and starring Martine Carol and Pedro Armendariz, I think it must have come with subtitles, Mr. Armendariz’s dialogue had already been dubbed into French. It was the first French film to be shot in technicolour, a special technicolour film camera had to be imported from the U.S. for the purpose. The film ran at the London Pavilion from 29th March until 21st April 1955. The subject of street collections for charity was a matter for the Metropolitan Police Commissioner, it was his job to licence street collections and with that licence several conditions would have to be met, I am afraid the pearly queens have already transgressed two of them, each collector was to stand at least 75 feet apart and should remain stationary and not obstruct the footway. The regulations also state that the collecting tins should not be shaken, especially under the noses of passers-by. The pearly kings and queens collect regularly for charity and I am sure a blind eye would have been turned on them especially for such a great cause.
The figure head of the ARA LIBERTAD depicts the Greek Goddess of Victory - Nike.

The magnificent sailing frigate ARA LIBERTAD of the Argentine Navy is seen berthed alongside Sir John Rogerson's Quay in the Port of Dublin on the River Liffey.
The ship was visiting Dublin as part of the 150th anniversary commemorations of the death of Admiral William Brown which saw the unveiling of a statue close to where the ship was berthed.
Admiral Brown was born in County Mayo and served originally in the US Merchant Navy before being press ganged into the Royal Navy during the Napoleonic Wars.
He eventually set himself up as a merchant and emigrated to South America where he became involved in the wars of liberation.
Admiral Brown founded the Argentine Navy and is held in high esteem in Argentina. There are over 1,200 streets named after him in the country.
Brown died in 1857 aged 79 in Buenos Aires.
The sailing frigate ARA LIBERTAD is a steel-hulled, full-rigged, class "A" sailing ship that serves as a training vessel in the Argentine Navy.
One of the largest and fastest tall ships in the world, holder of several speed records, she was designed and built in the 1950s by the Río Santiago Shipyard, Ensenada, Argentina. Her maiden voyage was in 1961, and she continues to be a training ship with yearly instruction trips for the graduating naval cadets as well as a traveling goodwill ambassador, having covered more than 800,000 nautical miles (1,500,000 km) across all seas, visited about 500 ports in more than 60 countries, and trained more than 11,000 navy graduates.
The ninth Argentine Navy vessel to bear the name LIBERTAD, she has a total length (including bowsprit) of 103.75 m; a beam of 14.31 m; a draft of 6.60 m; and a displacement of 3,765 tonnes: these figures place ARA Libertad as the world's sixth longest tall ship and the third heaviest in displacement.
Her complement is 357, including 24 officers, 187 crewmen and 150 naval cadets, among them an ever-increasing number of invited officers from friendly nations' armed forces, personnel from the Argentine Army, Air Force and Coast Guard, students, journalists and distinguished people from different areas and disciplines, both local and foreign.
The ship's follows the archetypal windjammer design, with a clipper bow and a wood-carved figurehead representing Liberty in a long flowing robe and a cruiser stern bearing the Argentine coat of arms in cast bronze.
She is an all square rigged vessel, with bowsprit and three steel masts Fore, Main (height of 56,2m), and Mizzen with boom with double topsails and five yardarms each, which can rotate up to 45 degrees on each side. Five jibs are fixed to the bowsprit. All masts have five square sails, with the foremast and mainmast having three staysails, and the mizzen, a spanker, summing up 27 dacron sails with a total sail area of 2,652 square meters. Masts have a circular cross section, formed by welded steel sheets between 9.5mm and 12mm thick.
The vessel carries four fully functional 47 mm QF 3 pounder Hotchkiss cannons, 1891 model, which were transferred from the previous school ship ARA Presidente Sarmiento. Although only used as a protocolar salute battery, these cannons make Libertad the second most heavily armed tall ship in the world.
The ship was extensively upgraded between 2004 and 2007 which included the fitting of new engines and the provision of accommodation for female crew.
In 1962 I started my first job as an apprentice sales assistant at Keghley Camera Centre in West Yorkshire.
In either 1963 or 64 my boss, Donald Blackwell, sent me on a training course to Kodak in London. This was hugely beneficial and I did learn an awful lot. At the end we were all given solid silver badges as a memento. My badge, now over 50 years old is shown here, it is hallmarked on the reverse side.
It measures 12.5mm x 9.5mm and weighs 1.4g. It will not be worth a huge fortune but is a nice memory of the lovely, and informative, week.
Silver is a vital ingredient in analogue photography and the silver removed from the film in the development process was recovered by the large companies such as Kodak, Ilford and Agfa.
The badges that we were given were made from this recovered silver.
The courses were run at No 63 Kingsway, Central London. I stayed for the week at the Bonnington Hotel which was a short walk from the Kodak office.
The courses were run at Kodak House on Kingsway in Central London. During the week I stayed at the Bonninton Hotel which was a short distance away.
Canon 5.0-20.0mm 1:2.8-5.9@5mm, f2.8, 1/19 ISO100
Today I hacked my little Canon point & shoot with the Canon Hack Development Kit (CHDK) and took it out for a quick shoot.
The images are not sharper, and the noise is really no less, but it allows one to shoot in RAW and so the files can be pushed harder in post (and no more horrible jpeg noise too)
I'm quite happy with the results from such an inexpensive camera, and the image quality is certainly better than the jpegs it produces.
Thanks for viewing my photos.
Comments are much appreciated and critique is especially welcome.

The term "subminiature" covers a wide range of sizes, to some people up to and including half-frame 35mm. Here are examples of a few more or less mainstream models; in each row, the original/pure/compact form is on the right and a later, larger and more feature-laden development is on the left. In between is a roll of the film that the cameras in that row used.
In the front row is a Minox B on the left, shown extended for use, and a IIIS on the right in its collapsed condition. The IIIS is not the 'original' Minox, but it's identical to it in size and general appearance (it's not the smallest either, that honor went to the later EC which was very slightly shorter). The B is neither the last nor the largest Minox of this format, the later C and LX were longer ... but it clearly indicates the direction that things were headed. In between is a roll of Minox 9.5mm film in its drop-in cartridge (the Minox negative is 8 x 11 millimeters)
Behind the Minoxes are a pair of Minolta 16s. On the right is a Minolta 16-II, basically identical to the original Minolta 16 but with an improved lens, shutter and viewfinder. The Minolta 16 makes a 10 x 14 mm negative on either single- or double-perforated 16mm movie film. To the left in this row is the last of the Minolta 16 line, a 16-QT. This model, and the similar MG-S, use the same film cartridge as the 16 and 16-II, but loaded with single-perforation film to permit a larger negative size of 12 x 17 millimeters. The 16-II is shown here in collapsed condition; extended for use it becomes about the same size as the 16QT.
In the row behind the Minoltas are a pair of Mamiya 16s. Mamiya had 2 different kinds of film cartridges: originally made as separate feed and takeup cassettes, they later joined these together to create a drop-in cartridge similar to Minolta's. (Mamiya's negative format was 10 x 14 mm, the same as the early Minoltas.) An early Mamiya 16-Super is shown in collapsed condition on the right, with a later, much bulkier Mamiya 16 Automatic on the left, and one of each type of film loads in between. Unlike the Minolta 16, the Mamiya doesn't extend much for use - there's just a small open-frame viewfinder that pulls out from one end of the body, uncapping the lens in the process.
Finally in the last row, just for scale: a Pentax Auto 110 SLR sporting its spiffy 1.7x teleconverter, alongside a cartridge of 110 film. The film in the 110 cartridge is the same size as the 16mm movie film used in the Mamiya and Minolta cameras, but its negative size is a bit larger at about 13 x 19 mm. They managed this by eliminating perforations on both sides of the film, providing only a single hole per frame located in the gap between frames. (Kodak had done the same thing before with 126 Instamatic, and even before that with 828 Bantam roll film)
1930's, bought in a junk shop for £1 (probably about what it's worth, but it's a fun thing). I think they were toys.

When the wind is too strong for my Levitation Light and the Trooper or PFK Nighthawk wander all over the sky, I can now fly my new Calomil.
This kite has taken me some 25 hours to build and although it is not complicated there are many Dacron reinforcements to sew in place.
The Calomi is a rigid box kite designed for strong and gusty winds by Christian Becot. It is rigged with an ‘H’ bridle allowing adjustment of the ‘pull’ without significantly changing the angle of attack.
Mine is the 1.4 metre version, built from .6 oz ripstop nylon and 9.5mm Tasmanian Oak dowels. It weighs a little over a kilogram and flies at a characteristic 60 degree angle of attack.

A grandfather of sorts of modern armoured vehicles, the Armoured Autocar consisted basically in an metal box atop the chassis of an Autocar, a 4x2 truck manufactured by US Autocar Company.
20 Autocar trucks were supplied to Canada, of which 8 were Armoured Machine-Gun Carriers.
They formed the "Automobile Machine Gun Brigade No. 1", which was deployed to Great Britain with the first Canadian contingent in October 1914. It stayed in Great Britain until 1916, among other reasons, because with the armies entrenching themselves, wheeled vehicles were deemed useless.
The brigade finally moved to France in 1916, where the vehicles had the two Model 1914 Colt machine-guns replaced by the superior Vickers .303 machine-gun (plus an optional Lewis mg for the vehicle’s Commander). The Vickers could rotate 360º while the Lewis only fired forward.
With its armament, mobility, and ammo capacity of 10-12,000 rounds, the Armoured Autocar served well as a fire-brigade of sorts, providing extra defensive fire power to the infantry in the trenches whenever the situation demanded.
On the negative side, its weak armour (9.5mm) was only capable of stopping conventional bullets at ranges of 60 yards or more (so it was claimed). As a consequence, the crews of 8 men crammed into each of the vehicles suffered a high number of casualties.
Of the 8 MG vehicles, 4 survived the war.

the smallest cutest anamorphic in the world.
50 of these optics where made around 1956 by Henri Chrétien company benoist s.t.o.p paris.
classic hypergonar double element design.
heavily revised and miniaturized by Chrétien at Villa Paradou, Cap Ferrat.
design was fixed position non adjustable focus elements with distance set in the 9-11 feet range.
using taking camera lens focus can improve sharpness under 10 feet as can f stop.
use of an anamorphic achromatic close up lens takes the lens to another level.
these where made for the popular home movie amateur regular 8 (standard 8) film format and french 9.5mm format.
production was cancelled very quickly because of lack of sales and hollywood patent restriction.
chretien's sale of the hypergonar patents and cinemascopic concepts to 20th century fox meant he could only sell these babies at home and a few french colonies and only for amateur use.
the small anamorphic home movie market quickly became dominated by moller and isco of germany who could sell any place in the world with no restrictions.
moller's bolex deal was the deal breaker as bolex was the greatest 8mm and 16mm compact camera maker.
benoist went back to making massive cinemascope projection lens under hollywood license and 16mm spherical cine lens.
these baby optics where found in a basement in the paris in the late 70s and rebuilt sold off cheap in the 1980s for single and super 8 film use.
because of tiny size and modest looks many would have been smashed broken and thrown in the dust bin.
classic reason people thinking that this is a lens.
if you hold this in front of a camera body you get a blur.
so if it is a blur it is broken so these have been dumped by some bozos.
the blur is because this is an adapter system you need a regular camera lens behind the hypergonar called the taking lens.
when used with a + 0.4 or +0.5 tokina close up lens these are pretty sharp
these are very very rare now.

From the Bates bicycle I bought recently. Lock ring uses a pin tool and I still have a VAR adjustable tool to use. Measured the cotter pin with a vernier caliper (9.5mm), not the Sutherland's guage as shown. The other twist was the 5/16" ball bearings, not the standard 1/4". All bearing surfaces are in good condition.
Pale yellow inhalent siphon held high. Translucent, whitish foot with extensive yellow tint but few opaque marks and no well-defined lines.
1: distinct, broad, peripheral chamfer on foot, much reduced at posterior so tip often concave.
Height (longest shell-dimension) 9.5mm. Menai Strait, Wales. March 2014.

Two photos taken from the same spot, approximately 12 hours apart, using the Minox EC spy camera that I first used in week 106 of my 52 film cameras in 52 weeks project:
www.flickr.com/photos/tony_kemplen/collections/72157623113584240
I made a film slitter using razor blades, to cut 35mm film down to two 9.5mm widths, which I then loaded into an old Minox cassette. The film was Kodak ColorPlus ISO 200, which I developed in the Tetenal C41 kit.
The negatives are tiny (8mm x 11mm) and so the quality is never going to be particularly good.
The self-propelled artillery units that operated Hummels needed to be supplied with ammunition regularly. As each vehicle could only carry 18 rounds, they soon depleted their stock of shells.
The gun crew working the Hummel’s 15cm howitzer were protected by the vehicle’s armor plate from small arms fire and high explosive shell shrapnel fragments. Soft skinned lorries carrying ammunition near the frontline were liable to explode in that hostile environment.
The artillery regiments of the Wehrmacht used standard production Hummels, that did not have a gun and were fitted with a 10 mm (0.39 in) armor plate over the gun mount, to carry ammunition. These were called Munitionsträger Hummel. 157 armoured ammunition carriers based on the Hummel Geschützwagen III/IV hybrid tank chassis were constructed.
A flat 9.5mm (3/8th inch) armor plate was bolted to the fighting compartment front to replace the normal gun shield. The cargo space inside the armored compartment was 15 cubic meters (530 cubic feet).
Ammunition was delivered to the working Hummel battery in wicker tube shaped shipping containers, each containing one 42.9-kilogram (94.6-pound) high explosive projectiles. Artillerymen referred to the containers as a Koffer (suitcase). The separate charge cartridges arrived in wooden boxes.
