Porst compact-reflex with Porst Color Reflex Auto MC 1.4/55 G
My first "modern" M42-SLR from Porst, the Porst compact-reflex, which is Cosina CSM. This copy is only named compact-reflex, but there many cameras with a further identifier, like S, SP, AM, OC, OCN, OE, OS, OV and probably some more. It would be painful to assign those cameras to the specific Cosina model, but I think the camera above and the S/SP have M42 thread mount, the others Pentax K-mount.
For sure it is no high-end camera, but it's fine. Full electronical shutter from 4 s to 1/1000 s and one mechanical time, 1/50 s. The self-timer also looks mechanical but it works completely electronically, you can't cock it until the shutter is cocked or in position "B", and it is combined with a mirror lock-up. Viewfinder with split-screen and illuminated under/over indicator for exposure metering. Yes, the metering is a bit different compared with other cameras, where you have to stop down for metering with a DOF-button which also switches the meter on. When you press the shutter button half-way on this camera, the aperture closes and the meter is switched on. If you release the shutter again, the meter is switched off, but the aperture stay closed. If you want to open the aperture again, you have to press the silver "aperture release button" next to the lens. It's easy to confuse this button with a DOF-button. It's a clever operation, better than the one on some old Chinon cameras, where you have to close the aperture with the force of your finger via the shutter buttton.
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".
Shouting the classic compact 35. Since it got wet the light meter doesn’t work but the cheap AliExpress one seems to so we will give that a go
Boo hoo, the only Versace thing I've ever owned and I sold it on Ebay. Ruthless clear out of things I'll never use

Designed by Charles and Ray Eames the Vitra Sofa Compact was originally a design intended for their own house in California, but finally went into series production. Unusually high and divided into two horizontal strips, the backrest lends the sofa an interesting profile and clearly sets it apart from the weightiness of traditional sofas. The sofa can be folded up, making it easy to transport. Made from a chromed tubular metal frame with polyurethane foam upholstery. --------- (PAR_0507_3339 - Image copyrighted).

On this Father's Day I wanted to make a post of remembrance for my father. He was the sweetest and most considerate man I have ever known. We lost him much too soon at 64 to his first heart attack.
Since all my family photographs as still packed from the move I could only find this 2 inch diameter brass powder compact. It holds a small snapshot of my father standing by an early automobile behind a celluloid cover. It predates my birth and I think the picture was taken when he was a teenager. I find the ill fitting suit and round glasses rather endearing. I found it among my mother's things and think it may have been made when they were courting.
It kept the Lotus company afloat through its darkest years, but with little to no funding the Esprit found its call to fame much like Aston Martin had, by way of James Bond, appearing as Bond's highly modified sports getaway in 'The Spy Who Loved Me', making a daring escape from a pursuing helicopter by turning into a submarine.
The Lotus Esprit intended to be Lotus' crowning achievement, bringing the company well into the 1970's with a new sheek, Ferrari style look, combined with some of the best grip ever put into a car and fitted with an engine that could bend time. The result was probably one of the best Grand Tourers ever built.
But it alone could not save the company's plummeting fiscal outlook. As Lotus continued to haemorrhage money to the incoming hot hatchbacks things eventually became so dire that they apparently didn't have enough money to pay the invoices.
But despite all these things the plucky Esprit continued to be built, ending production in 2004, the formula for the car's success being keeping the same sublime bodystyle (that even today looks good), and constantly develop the car's internal workings, including the engine and the handling.
waste recycling compactor doing the business, everything is probably now taking up less space than it was in all the cupboards I had at home.
Very simple - auto flash, auto exposure, power wind; very large finder. Much like the Praktica from two weeks ago. Dates to 1999 (the copyright date on the manual). DX coding only for 100,200 & 400 ISO (there are only two DX contact pins ).
The manual has the helpful advice: "Do not use Polaroid instant films in this camera".
Easy to use, however you do get odd reflections in the eyepiece, as it's so large that your face doesn't cover it all.
2xAA batteries provide the power. Made in China.
My '95 E36 Compact.
Unfortunately, the EXIF is missing. Note that this is an 8s long exposure lit only by a street lantern.
I did some heavy post processing on this one: desaturated all but the coloured applications (I like the rim logos best), meddled with highlights and shadows and got rid of all noise to give it a smooth look.
