If there’s one company in Australia with heaps of dino compactors, that company will be Suez, or SITA as I wish they were still known. Maybe in the past the company had more dino work on a national scale, but the high majority is now subject to their Sydney operations, with most of their bulk bin trucks indeed dino roll-offs. I’m sure the company has a good couple hundred open top containers, compactor containers and integrated units in Sydney, a lot of which appear to be young or freshened up. However, a few years ago I came across one of their older pieces of equipment outside their Wetherill Park transfer station, just sitting on the road unattended while its transporter was somewhere else. I love seeing a compactor just sitting on the road out from a dock, especially at night in the Sydney CBD haha It’s not often you would find a compactor of this capacity being used for garbage, so I think it’s safe to say this is a dry waste container or more likely one for paper and cardboard. You can tell this one is an oldie, with very faded paint and signage, plenty of scratches and a decent amount of rust. You can see the front of the container has been punched inwards... a result of the many times this steel box has been pushed into its resting position by the bail hook and frame. I reckon the “No Parking Day Or Night” signs should feature an additional “Offending Vehicles Will Be Towed” - not hard to do with the truck!

I was given a box of old compact digital cameras to see if I could resuscitate any of them. This one is awaiting a battery and further testing. Kodak made a ba-jillion types of early digital cameras. They tried everything to satisfy a fickle marketplace. What they DID succeed in doing (at least for this guy) was to make wonderfully colorful cameras. We could use more of that these days. Lots more. IMHO.
Done for Arch's challenge #23: urban sniper.
"The UCS was designed for Frontline Security due to the request of a sniper rifle that could be used in urban combats. Its charging mechanism is an update of the XV factory: Every time the bolt goes back, the shell is moved with it and ejected from behind in the side of the weapon. Thanks to the modular parts, can be updated as a sniper or a assault rifle. Purchase today and regret never!"

I normally don’t fall in love with AF zoom compacts, but I did with this little Konica Lexio 70 W! It is incredibly small and (to my eyes) a very handsome camera. I can’t call it a plastic wonder as it is made out of metal. It feels like an expensive camera, the Yashica T4 feels positively 3rd rate compared to the solid and chic Konica.
Specs wise, it manages to pack a 28-70 zoom with a very respectable aperture of 3.4 at the 28 mm setting. This is a bit Pentax Espio 928, but in a body of an Espio Mini. The large LCD is backlit in indigo blue, very nice touch. The camera has all the usual modes including a backlight compensation of 1.5 EV. There is no dedicated button to cancel flash, but there is a curious feature. If you select to cancel the flash and turn the camera off, next time you turn it on, just press the mode button once and the camera reverts to your previous setting, very cool!
This is the very first time with an AF zoom compact camera that I can’t complain about the viewfinder. For the first time I have a compact zoom camera with a big viewfinder, in fact so big that I can compose with my eye at 15/20 mm from it, remarkable. Konica has profited from this big viewfinder and incorporated not LEDs but icons at the bottom of the frame like macro, AF confirmation, flash and infinity focus. Also, the viewfinder is very bright and has a dioptric correction.
I suppose there must be a catch, but I have failed to find it just by playing with the camera. Possibly the week point of the camera is in the lens. I have to try it and confirm my suspicion, if the lens performs decently, then this Konica Lexio 70 W will be the first zoom P&S camera that I will use with pleasure.

The prototype. This was my quickly thrown together attempt to make a spit box out of an ordinary eBay find. It actually turned out pretty nice despite my hurried effort. My wife claimed this one immediately because it is small and "pretty". I've actually gotten a huge amount of use out of it already. One can't tell from the pic, but the wells are extremely deep and hold a ton of paint. In case you're wondering, it's spray enamel from the hardware store. Works great and matches your clothes dryer!
Not many if any places to see a pair of SD35's running now days in the US, here GLC 383 and 384 work the interchange with the Ann Arbor RR at Osmer siding just north of Ann Arbor, Michigan. Nice compact packages these SD35's seen from above, if only EMD had cataloged an SD30, that would have been a pretty swell looking unit - August 23, 2024.

The MRK III Compact was
an attempt by manufacturers Slayn & Korpil to build on the success of the earlier MRK I (and to a lesser extend the MRK II), retaining the heavy armament of the original while improving manoeuvrability and reducing maintenance.
The ship retained the originals ion and laser canons and featured a gunner turret capable of 360 degree rotation. As a compromise it required 2 crew; a pilot and a gunner.
Technological advances allowed the size of the s-foils to be significantly reduced, and the engine cluster to be minimised and positioned behind the crew pods.

Why cant these camera manufacturer's produce a Owners Manual that not only names the buttons, levers & dials but actually tells you what each of them does and why you would want to use them in the first place, some of us are NOT techies or Rocket Scientists.
I will be using this camera in week 325 of my 52 film cameras in 52 weeks project:

I’ve come across a few old onsite waste compactors in the past, however unfortunately I failed to consider taking pictures of them all for the purpose of documenting their existence. One classic system I did photograph recently is this stationary unit consisting of a solid blade packer coupled to a tough old ribbed 27m container, not at all resembling the new bulk handling gear out there today. According to what is indicated on the top left corner surface, but not visible in this photo, this compactor was fabricated in January 1982... I’m sure this classic refuse mechanism has always resided at this particular city shopping centre which has been around forever. It’s also a MacaPak system, produced by none other than MacDonald Johnston Engineering. Near the front of the container you will get hinted involvement of AB Equipment, from a previous search I got the impression they’re involved with dock equipment and one of their customers is Kmart. I have no idea which company serviced this bin in the past, but it was definitely a dino truck, yet I’m not even sure who does it today, although it’s a hook lift job now. Sitting adjacent to this packer and right behind me in the photo is another identical stationary blade packer, but that one is hooked up to a modern Cleanaway container and serves the Coles store.
