Agfa Compact, with Agfa Solinar 2.8/39. Introduced in 1980, it has a winder for film advance and the motor also moves the lens out and in, a very advanced feature in those days.
I bought this copy with jammed main switch, the shifter on the right side which also covers the viewer window. "Jammed main switch? Easy to repair!" I thougt. A complete misjudgement. This small camera (it is really compact) is jam-packed with tooth wheels, rods and levers, mostly unsecured, they just fall out if the camera is tilted at the wrong moment. You'll get a sophisticated puzzle.
Perhaps you know that some Agfa Sensors have a peculiarity: the rewinding is done with the advance lever. When you open the back, a part the bottom pops out and you can see the complicated mechanism. The coupling to the film cartridge also swings out, so the camera can be made more compact. Though the Agfa Compact has a winder for rewinding the film, it has that complex mechanism. No wonder, that most Compacts are out of order.
End of the story: I assembled the rest of the camera to take this picture, I have lots of small parts left ...
UPDATE: found a working copy and loaded it immediately with a roll of film. It's really a special model; it's nice, but I have to fight a little bit with the viewfinder and its brilliant frame, and every time the motor driven lens extended I thought, it could be the last time. The exposure meter is very sensitive to back light, only a small source of light in the picture causes underexposure, a button for back light compensation would be really appropriate. On the other hand, the lens itself can handle strong back light very confident.
The results were somewhat disappointing, colors were dull and the contrast low, but I blame the film for it, a Kodak Farbwelt 200 (although "Farbwelt" means "world of colors"). Sharpness is a mixed bag: some pictures taken under cloudy conditions are very sharp, some pictures at bright sunlight are not.
Examples:
For sharpness: you can easily read the "10" on the signs in the background.
For back light

The Sandugo was a blood compact, performed in the island of Bohol in the Philippines, between the Spanish explorer Miguel López de Legazpi and Datu Sikatuna the chieftain of Bohol on March 16, 1565, to seal their friendship as part of the tribal tradition. This is considered as the first treaty of friendship between the Spaniards and Filipinos. "Sandugo" is a Visayan word which means "one blood".
The Sandugo is depicted in both the provincial flag and the official seal of the government in Bohol. It also features the image of the blood compact. The top of the seal explains the history behind the Sandugo event that occurred in Bohol, the fleet and the location where the Spaniards anchored and the place where the treaty was conducted which was dated on March 16, 1565
Going thru some old archive photos I came upon a photo of a Max Occupancy sign at one of the exhibition halls at Chicago's McCormick Place. With all the talk of Social Distancing, it is good to remember what we have to look forward to when this is all said and done, and the next Auto Show comes in 2021
In spite of its boxy design, this 1959 White 1500 Compact looked good dressed in the postal blue and white cab with red stripe. Notice the Civil Defense sticker on the door! This photo is one of many in the library of The Western Reserve Historical Society.

The world is full of phenomens that normal "behaviorism" or other sciences cannot explain. One of them is a basic question 'Why in the heck have three Panasonics?"

This second/third/... hand market find is my fave in spite of the very small zooming range. The IQ is splendid even in low light conditions!
Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ10
This one has absolutely the worst IQ of these three; one couldn't believe that it uses Leica glass. Updating the firmware helped by no means. A bad camera is a bad camera even in "good light" conditions.

I'm able to give access to the free pattern! This is the Compact Grocery Tote from Lisa Lam's new book called "A Bag For All Reasons".
This angled shot helps us better understand the type of snowflake known as the "capped column" . . . you are looking at two snow crystals connected by an axle (the column) . . . the lower flake is a stellar plate and the upper flake is a clear hexagonal plate . . . in the middle of the upper flake you'll notice a smaller hexagonal outline which is the joint between the upper flake and the columnar axle . . . notice also how the vertices of the upper flake line up in between the spokes of the lower flake . . . this is an attribute of capped columns . . . the two flakes have a 30 degree offset to each other . . . are snowflakes not amazing?
Flake Type: Capped Column, Hexagonal Plate over Stellar plate
Size: App 2mm and 5mm
Device: Canon A1000, LBS, SS1, slight crop
