These newly built dwellings at Thetford make a refreshing change from the usual mean little "traditional" modern houses, with their sub-Georgian embellishments, cubicle-like rooms and allocated parking. I know a chap who lives a few yards from here. He told me they were going for an "affordable" £120,000. Hmmm. Wouldn't mind one myself. The signboards say that one is sold and one remains for sale. Yet the website says that the agents are property management consultants acting on behalf of landlords. Can't quite work that one out.
My only complaint would be that the ground floor front is all window. This is another example ...habit dies hard... of an architect giving his "end users" what he thinks they ought to have, rather than what they actually want. We're all familiar with the dogma that interiors should be "light" and "airy" and that the inside of the house should merge with the outside. But these are abstractions. Human beings require privacy, retreat, "defensible space" and refuge from the world's scrutiny. Top-to-bottom windows might do on the garden front, but nobody wants to live in a goldfish bowl. The new owners of the three occupied houses have already had to spend a pretty penny on net curtains.
Four 35mm compacts clockwise from top right: Yashica Electro 35 GTN, Minoltina AL-S, Canonet New QL17, Fujica 35-ML.
- Yashica Electro 35 GTN (GSN's darker cousin) is excellent for low light shots, and have perfect ergonomics despite its largest size. The RF patch is the most contrasty, and the meter works consistently. It is also considered one of the prettier cameras.
- Minoltina AL-S is the lightest and most compact with the best all-around lens Rokkor 40/1.8. About the same size as Canonet QL17, but lighter.
- Canon Canonet QL17 (new) is the most capable and a very good lens, albeit weak RF patch on my sample (thus the blue filter). The meter is still working, but slow speeds are off.
- Fujica 35-ML has the most 3D looking Fujinon lens (despite slower at f2.8), and slightly different operations (thumb wheel focusing, bottom film advance lever like Retinas). Solid like a brick.
Compact is a neat little studs up font. Basic, but gets the job done. Perfect for signing mosaics.

Sony tarafından Xperia serisinin en güçlü modellerinden bir tanesi olan Xperia X Compact modeli Türkiye’de satışa sunuluyor. İşte yeni telefon ile ilgili detaylar ve etiket fiyatı.
Maginon CF35, cheap compact camera for 35 mm film. I have really no clue regarding the manufacturer, there is no country of production or serial number mentioned on the body. It is mainly made of plastic, but the castings are very clean, so my suspect is Premier from Taiwan.
The camera has a folding front door like the Minox 35 and the lens is really retractible. It is a 4/38 mm fixfocus lens, probably with 3 elements.
It has no exposure meter but the common symbols (cloudy, sunny and something in between). Together with the setting of the film speed (100, 200 and 400 ISO) you will get 6 f-stops in combination.
When the flash is switched on, you have to set the flash distance with the f-stop ring. So, I think the light sensor above the ring is just for underexposure warning.
Furthermore: film advance with a wheel, frame counter, tripod socket, no self-timer, 2x AA-cells for the flash.
Looks very similar to the Yashica Partner.
Last week I bought a Pelikan 4001 Brown Ink bottle.
I tested it over canson paper with my old Compactor fountain pen.
The color is good, very similar to Diamine Burnt Siena.
The ink flows very well,smooth.
The second model based on the stacked triangle twists just uploaded.
This model:
Alios kraft, hexagon from 30x30 cm square, 40 division grid.
Included CP and several views, backlit, with and without flash.
For the November scavenger hunt category "long-running". Compact fluorescent bulbs can last up to 10 times as long as regular incandescents.
Compactor finishes over the intersection that was partly paved by the paver, and finished off with a truck dumping a pile of asphalt to be spread out with rakes.
Think about taking the product "out of the box". This compact was removed from the box, then nestled on top of the box before foofing. This way the beautiful compact cover shows through, rather than a plain box. A little pink tulle and you're ready to go!
