One of the most popular and longest running British car models, the Hillman Minx was a car of lengthy lifespan that is a classic example of how the style changed throughout the decades, from the boxy, antique designs of the Inter-War era, to the space-age angles of the 1970's.
The Hillman Minx is a middle -sized family car which was produced under the Hillman marque by the Rootes Group from 1932 to 1970. As mentioned, the Minx went through many versions, and badge engineered alternatives were also made available under the marques of Humber, Singer and Sunbeam.
From the mid-1950s to the mid-1960s, the Minx and its derivatives were the greatest-volume sellers of the "Audax" family of cars from Rootes, which also included the Singer Gazelle and Sunbeam Rapier. The final version of the Minx was the "New Minx" launched in 1967, which was part of the "Arrow" family and essentially a basic version of the Hillman Hunter. Generally, the Minx was available in four-door saloon and estate forms, with a 1496-cc engine.
The Hillman Super Minx was a slightly larger model offered during the Audax era.
Throughout the life of the Minx, there was usually an estate version; and, from 1954 to 1965, there was also a short-wheelbase estate, the Hillman Husky, and a van derivative known as the Commer Cob.
The Minx model name was revived briefly – along with the "Rapier" name, as applied to the Sunbeam Rapier version of the Audax family – as a special edition late in the life of the Talbot Alpine / Talbot Solara cars, produced by Chrysler Europe after its takeover of the Rootes Group.

Historia Natural
Reproducción
Su nido consiste en una taza compacta y bien construida con raquis delgados de hojas compuestas pequeñas y fragmentos o venas de hojas de banano, forrada con materiales más finos y sin musgo verde. Se localiza entre 3 y 8 m. de altura entre el follaje.
Ponen 2 huevos blancos, con abundante moteado café. Se reproducen entre abril a junio.
Se observó un nido con 3 adultos que alimentaban a los pichones.
Alimentación
Se alimenta de bayas, semillas ariladas y de otros frutos, inclusive amentos de guarumo (Cecropia spp.). Al estar en el follaje se agacha para examinar el envés de ramas horizontales en busca de insectos y arañas. En raras ocasiones sale en pos de insectos en vuelo.
Comportamiento
Forman parejas o grupos pequeños de 3 a 6 individuos; a menudo se les observa en bandadas mixtas de aves frugívoras.
Habitat y Distribución
Habitat
Frecuenta niveles altos de los bosques húmedos y áreas aledañas de crecimiento secundario, y claros con árboles y arbustos esparcidos.
Distribución
Es una especie residente de poco común a relativamente común en los piedemontes, entre los 400 y los 1000 m. de altura en el lado del Caribe, desde la Cordillera de Tilarán hacia el sur. En el Pacífico se localiza entre los 300 y los 1400 m. En ambas vertientes se localizan algo más alto en las cercanías de la frontera con Panamá.
Distribución fuera de Costa Rica
Se encuentran desde Costa Rica hasta Trinidad, el sureste de Colombia y el norte de Brasil.

Descripción
Descripción científica
Mide 13 cm. y pesa 20 grs. Ninguna otra tangara presenta un punteado negro por encima y por debajo.
El adulto muestra las plumas de la parte superior negras y bordeadas por un verde pasto brillante, lo cual produce un aspecto de punteado negro. La rabadilla y los flancos son verde sólido, y las alas y la cola son negras con bordes verde azulado. El área loreal y la lista ocular son negras sobre la cara amarilla. Las plumas de la garganta, pecho y el costado son negras con bordes entre verde azulado pálido y blancuzco, y el color se torna blanco en el abdomen. Las coberteras infracaudales verde amarillentas presentan manchas negras.
La hembra es similar pero con las marcas negras menos extensas en la parte baja del pecho, y los bordes verdes de la parte superior más anchos y no tan bien definidos. La maxila es negra y la mandíbula es plateada con la punta negra, y las patas son gris azulado.
Los ejemplares juveniles muestran un verde más opaco por encima, con las marcas negras reducidas a manchones fuscos y el área loreal fusca. La cara exhibe la frente teñida de amarillo. Por debajo es blancuzco opaco, con un moteado fusco en la garganta, y el pecho, costado y flancos con un tinte amarillo oliva. Las coberteras infracaudales son amarillentas.

Revue 35 Compact de Luxe, a scarce sister of the Revue 35 Compact Electronic, which is itself also a scarce camera.
As far I found out, the difference is in the viewfinder: Both feature a needle of the exposure meter, but the Electronic only indicates over- or underexposure, the de Luxe displays shutter speeds (1000-250-30), similar to a Minox 35.
The Revue 35s are nearly identical to the Vivitar 35 EM. The Vivitar also displays the shutter speeds and its opening for the lens barrel is round, not square.
The producer of this camera is still a mystery, it reminds me of the Revue 400SE/Vivitar 35ES pair.
The logo on this camera, the atomic model, looks like the early Yashica logo, but it is not the same.
The camera itself is really cute. With the lever at the bottom you can retract the lens and the shutter button, the lens is protected by a sliding cover then. It has aperture priority AE, the focus has to be set manually. There is a small button above the viewer, which obviously has the same function like the half pressed shutter button: the meter is switched on and the needle in the viewer indicates the expected shutter speed, furthermore a red light becomes visible on top, I assume it is a battery check (two 1.5 V SR44 are required).
The film speed dial around the rewind crank is devided in half-steps (!) from 25 to 400+1/2, perhaps 560 ASA.
Most parts of the housing are made of thin plastic. There are small cracks around some screws and the window of the viewer is broken too.
Update after one roll of film: Yes, really a fine camera. Sometimes I had mixed up the feet and the meter scale, but that didn't matter ...

The self-styled 'cathedral of the Tendring peninsula', Pevsner thought it a fine sight, proud and compact; entirely in the East Anglian style.
Ich habe des öfteren darüber nachgedacht, warum Hunde ein derart kurzes Leben haben, und bin zu dem Schluss gekommen, dass dies aus Mitleid mit der menschlichen Rasse geschieht; denn da wir bereits derart leiden, wenn wir einen Hund nach zehn oder zwölf Jahren verlieren, wie groß wäre der Schmerz, wenn sie doppelt so lange lebten?

Not all amateur photographers own a DSLR. They are expensive, heavy and bulky, while compacts camera fits anywhere. Some of them have a nice macro feauture, that allow to really get close, but for a 1:1 macro you will have to experiment. On this image, apply the same macro coupler principle for a DSLR. I have a box of all kind of surplus lenses and found a small 20mm, reversed and mounted with electrical tape, set the compact to telephoto. My compact at telephoto is 20mm, so 20 /20=1. So able to reach a 1:1 macro with this setup. This small red fly is not a regular size fly, it only measure 2.5mm long, is really hard to see because of it's light color. But this macro setup was able to resolve even the microscopic hairs on the back of this red fly. Recommendation: Use the camera on Program mode with flash and low ISO. If the flash is too strong, cover it with a darker film.
