A very compact 35mm viewfinder camera, made in East Germany by Beir for the Boots chain in the UK.
45mm f2.8 E. Ludwig Meritar lens, 3 speed (1/30, 1/60, 1/125) + B Priomat shutter, with flash sync via both PC socket and hot shoe, and weather symbols. The weather symbols are set on the aperture ring and the ASA film speed is set on a scale on the shutter ring (25-125 ASA/15-22 DIN) in the conventional Sunny-16 manner (i.e. Bright Sun=f16, dull clouds=f5.6, 125ASA=1/125s). Mostly plastic construction with metal top and bottom plates and lens mount, and rather light (even for a plastic device) and poorly put together.
The one on the left has been in the family from new, in the (mid?) 1970s - and now does not work, with the shutter not opening. The winding and double-exposure prevention were not very reliable when it was new, but the lens is good.
The one on the right works, but came only about three years ago as part of a job lot of about seven cameras.
My Compact Cameras for Travel and Casual Photography
Since I developed hyperthyroid in Dec 2012, where my arms felt weak, my hands trembled (I couldn't hand hold my D3s without upping the shutter speed at least 3X my normal) and my fine motor skills were affected, I've generally parked my photography as a serious hobby. While I'm essentially back to normal health since Feb 2013, I haven't had the same urge to never leave home without my big gear set, and am more inclined now to go small, light and casual.
I have traveled a bit during the past 9 months for work and leisure, and while not allocating as much time to photography, have shot many casual travel photos, much more family moments and some amount of videos that I share with my family on the iPad during the trip or at home upon return via the Apple TV. LR4 editing is now on a need-only basis...
With this background story, I have come to really like the G1X I got last year for the superb all round image quality in such a small package, in good light or bad. Its noise at ISO 3200 is fully acceptable to me, and even at ISO 6400, I'm happy with the compromises. The vari-angle screen is fantastic to use and I'm quite happy with using it to shoot 720p 30fps videos (I find 24fps too choppy so I don't use the 1080p setting much). The high pop up flash in TTL mode works great for fill, and even at night, I rarely get the "deer in the headlight" look. So good in fact, considering it together with the high ISO performance, the f/2.8 glass, and the good lens IS, I have not found a real need to get a dedicated hotshoe flash for it (I unfortunately cannot get it to trigger my existing Nikon SB700 flash in manual mode although I've seen comments on-line that it was possible with the old SB24s and 28s). Of course, despite all the pluses, no camera is perfect and I don't fault it for what it is. So I complemented it with the Panasonic ZS20/TZ30 in Jan 2013.
The Panasonic ZS20/TZ30 filled the gap for long reach with its 20X Leica optical zoom, wider view with its 24mm FF equivalent lens and panorama capabilities, 1080 60i/p video for full HD, GPS for travel location tagging, quicker touchscreen focusing and all in a tiny lightweight package. So they have been my camera travel companions of late and I have been quite satisfied I must say.
However, I've been pondering over what I should do with my collection of lenses that's been sitting idle. So enter the NEX 6 into the family a week plus ago after trading in my now rarely used D300. It's about the size and sensor capability of the G1X, has many of the useful features found in the G1X and ZS20/TZ30 combined, like tilt-able LCD, panorama shot, fast focusing, great EVF, standard hotshoe (works with my SB700 and Nissin Di866, hooray!), full HD video, etc. Additionally, it has Sony's focus peaking function when manually focusing, and with adapters, will take my Nikon and Canon lenses! I'm still waiting for my adapters to arrive and will see how things work out later, if I can get used to manual focusing. Then I may make adjustments to my photographic gear to refine what I need to own. But happy with my camera-for-travel and personal-use set for now.
Cheers!

Yeah. A "compact" (it's not quite pocketable) with a fast f/1.9 lens and a red Canon "L" lens ring!
Well, it's a big chunk of plastic. Too bad you can't use any functions manually, i would have liked that in combination with this lens.
Anyhow. I think i'll put a roll through it, must say i'm quite curious!
Fluorescent light bulbs may save energy, but the quality of the light is crappy compared to incandescent light bulbs.

Compact 24x36 peu courant en France. Version export du Smena 8. "C'est le premier Smena à utiliser la cartouche 35mm standard avec rembobinage, le dos est entièrement amovible ainsi que la bobine réceptrice selon la mauvaise habitude soviétique." (EC sur le site "Collection-appareils") On trouve également cet appareil sous le nom de Global 35 ou Revue. L'objectif est un Lomo T-43 de 40 mm ouvert à 1:4 monté sur un obturateur à armement séparé du 1/15ème au 1/250ème plus une pose B. La mise au point se fait sur l'optique, le repère est sur le côté et les distances vont de 1 m à l'infini, les repères intermédiaires étant 1,4 / 2 / 2,8 / 4... jusqu'à 11, sans doute pour mettre un peu de confusion dans l'esprit du débutant ? Le déclencheur dispose d'un verrouillage. Le disque sur le dessus est une table d'équivalence entre différents systèmes de mesure de sensibilité des films, ce qui n'est pas d'une grande utilité, l'appareil n'ayant pas de cellule. Ce disque contient également le compteur de vues.
H x l x p : 85 x 120 x 60 mm, 330 g. Fiche "SH".
Someone dropped a few cameras they didn't want anymore at work, all point and shoots. My co-worker took a Sony digicam, and I took the two film ones. Yeah, free cameras! Well, one working free camera. Happy to have another toy.

Brookland is a compact village which lies on Walland Marsh about 12 miles South East of Tenterden on the A259.
Its church is well known on account of the fact that it has a detached wooden bell tower. The tower is octagonal, and has a conical roof of three diminishing 'flounces'. Until 1936 it was covered in black tarred weatherboarding. It is believed the tower was built around 1260, and so is contemporary with the church itself.
The church is dedicated to St Augustine, the first Archbishop of Canterbury. On entering the church you will notice that the nave arcades lean outwards at a perilous angle. This occurred many years ago due to subsidence. There is still some settlement, and half an inch has been recorded since 1900.
The Royal Arms of George II hang over the south door, and on the south wall is a wall painting of Thomas a Beckett.
The chancel was restored in the 19th century, but the nave remains untouched, and has a Georgian pulpit and box pews.
Much has been written about the famous circular lead font. It is said to be the most important of the 30 leaden fonts remaining in this country. It is thought to have been of Flemish or Norman origin. It depicts the months and the signs of the zodiac. It is unknown how or why this amazing font came to Brookland Church, but it is possible that the font was raided from a French church during the 100 Years War .
In the churchyard can be found a headstone adorned with an oval terra cotta plaque depicting a basket of fruit and flowers. It is inscribed 'HARMER FECIT'. Jonathan Harmer and his son were stonemasons at Heathfield in East Sussex. They made these tombstone plaques in the late 18th century using the local clay from Heathfield Park.
Other examples can be seen at Burwash , Wadhurst , Salehurst , Glynde , and in other sussex churchyards. This would appear to be the only example that strayed across into Kent.
In February 1821 the Battle of Brookland took place between the Customs and Excise men and the Aldington Gang of smugglers. The smugglers had sent 250 men down to the coast between Camber and Dungeness . The party was seen by the Watch House at Camber and a fight took place over Walland Marsh, the outcome was that one of the leaders of the gang Cephas Quested was captured. The injured were treated by Dr Ralph Hougham who lived in Brookland at Pear Tree House.
St Augustines at Brookland is one of those churches supported by the Romney Marsh Historic Churches Trust
