Quite a few photos I've upload from just the one film, which is unusual for me, I really should do another Xpro soon.
Konica C35 EFP2
Very simple camera, fixed focus, manual film transport, no exposure metering at all, even no underexposure warning. And there is probably only one shutter speed. The only comfort is a bright frame Albada finder (with parallax marks) and a flash-ready lamp.
I assume, that the camera provides only 3 apertures. The small one for the 400 ISO setting, the medium one for the 100/200 ISO setting. If you switch the flash on, the aperture opens fully, independent from the ISO setting. So at low light it could be a good idea to switch the flash on, even if there are no batteries for the flash in the camera.
Ricoh My-1 with 7/30 lens.
"35mm Ultra Compact Camera" is written on it, and that's true. It is smaller than a Minox 35. The shape of the body reminds me somewhat of another famous compact camera by Ricoh, but the My-1 is really a very cheap and plasticky camera. The lens is retractable, but not motor-driven: it just pops out powered by a spring when a button on the back is pressed.
The lens is fixfocus type.
The shutter can perform a 1/60 and a 1/125 s.
The flash modes are only automatic and on, not flash off.
It has a self-timer and mid-roll rewind.
It takes two micro AAA batteries.
Even though I bought myself a new compact camera to help make it easier to take my daily photograph, this strategy only works if you actually go outside during the day and don't stay put writing mindmaps and draft reports...
Hopefully the next few days will see me being able to give my compact camera a bit of a workout.
Ricoh 500 ST with SP-Winder
In 1980 Ricoh introduced a new generation of their "500"-series, nice compact cameras for 35 mm film, the first one was the 500 G from 1972. They earned some popularity, because beside shutter priority automatic exposure most of them offer full manual control.
The 4 new cameras in 1980 were the 500 ST, 500 ZF (both viewfinder), the 500 RF and the top model 500 ME (both rangefinder).
Ricoh has a long tradition making cameras with a spring driven film transport, for example the Ricoh Auto Half. The SP-winder here is also spring driven, in 1980 it was rather an anachronism, but it works fine and it's a cool device. It has a long crank at its bottom, if you turn it 20 times, it has enough power for advancing the film 10 frames. The winder fits all 4 new models.

22nd August 2018, Hamburg, Germany. Lomo Purple XR 400, shot at 100, in a Ricoh R1.
Compare this very wide angle shot on the purple film to this full zoom shot on regular colour film, taken down there where the people are walking in front of the trees.
Chinon Auto 1001 and Auto 2001, compact cameras for 35 mm film.
The last cameras from Chinon with the flash integrated in the sliding lens cover.
The 2001 has the faster lens, but the 1001 has the fastest shutter speed: remarkable 1/1000 s
D20072. One of the 'must see' places to visit in Switzerland is the Gornergrat above Zermatt in Canton Wallis. There is a 360° panoramic view of mountains and glaciers and this includes the world famous 14,692ft (4478m) high Matterhorn.
Getting there is easy as the 10,269ft (3,130m) high Gornergrat is linked to Zermatt by the Gornergratbahn, a narrow gauge rack and pinion railway and this is a shot from the train during the journey.
