OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA u 1010.

 

Even with a compact the sharpness is pretty good.

The sharpness is imho quite reasonable considering the price of this type of camera.

 

Deze soort is voor het eerst beschreven door Charles de Geer, een geboren Zweed die opgroeide in Nederland waar ook zijn familie vandaan kwam. De wat opmerkelijke Nederlandse naam dankt deze vlieg aan de tekening; een gele basiskleur met een wat complexe, maar regelmatige zwarte strepentekening dwars op het achterlijf. Deze bestaat uit drie zwarte banden met daaronder een vaak onderbroken, dunnere en ietwat V-vormige streep. De bovenste band is meestal versmolten met de driehoekige streep erboven. Het borststuk is zwartbruin en glanzend, en heeft een lichtere, meestal gele 'uitstulping' aan de achterzijde. De ogen zijn rood van kleur en de lengte is 7 tot 12 millimeter.

Algemeen

 

De pyjamazweefvlieg leeft van nectar en stuifmeel van bloemen en er worden meerdere plantensoorten bezocht. Deze soort komt in grote delen van Europa voor, maar ook in Noord-Afrika, Noord-Amerika en in Azië. In Nederland en België is de pyjamazweefvlieg algemeen, en komt overal voor waar veel bloemen en bladluizen zijn. Deze soort is erg populair in de tuinbouw, omdat de larven vraatzuchtige belagers van bladluizen zijn.

Voortplanting

 

Het vrouwtje legt de witte, langwerpige eitjes in een bladluizenkolonie, waar de larven al na enkele dagen uitkomen. De larve is een platte, kruipende larve die iets weg heeft van een worm, de larve is half-doorzichtig en glimmend. Vooral de larve is erg nuttig omdat het voedsel uitsluitend bestaat uit bladluizen, die worden leeggezogen. De larve is vooral te vinden aan de onderzijde van bladeren, omdat zich hier ook de bladluizen bevinden. Na enige tijd verpopt de larve, deze pop ziet eruit als een bruine druppel. De snelheid van de ontwikkeling hangt sterk af van de temperatuur; in het noordelijkste deel van het verspreidingsgebied komt slechts een enkele generatie tot ontwikkeling, in het zuiden wel vier of vijf.

These four compacts have many of the features I desire. However, some have only some of the features; none have all of the features; and some features are completely missing from all four.

 

My ideal compact digital camera would meet the following specifications:

1.Built to withstand daily usage.

2.Manufacturing quality of the Leica MP or M6 film camera

3.Body and controls are ergonomically designed.

32.Minimal warm-up time when unit is turned on.

33.Minimal delay when shutter is pressed

34.Ability to shoot at least 2.5 images per second

35.Ability to shoot at least 24 consecutive images

36.ISO light meter range from 50 to 3200 or greater.

37.Produces high quality video images

38.Has microphone jack

39.Camera does not have stupid sounding name like “CoolPix” or "FinePix.”

 

Until my perfect digital compact comes around, I will continue to use the four digital compacts I have.

 

Thus far, I have been very pleased using the Canon G15 compact and the Olympus micro 4/3 as monochrome cameras.

 

I use the G15 as a black & white test camera when shooting with a 4x5 view camera because the G15 can give me a 4x5 aspect ratio for composition.

 

The Olympus micro 4/3 camera with Panasonic 20mm f/1.7 normal lens, Olympus 45mm f/1.8 telephoto lens, and Panasonic 14mm f/2.5 wide-angle lens produces excellent monochrome images.

Compact Hinoki Cypress, started 1802!

Boston Flower Show, Boston MA

We had to rotate the head and run the ram all the way back, to make a more compact, easier to handle package.

The 2x6's below are to give the machine a larger foot print for the rollers, which are 1 1/2" pipe.

Once the machine is on rollers it is moved with my collection of pry bars, which range from a 6 foot machine bar down to little 12" hand bars.

The back of the trailer is held up by house bottle jacks on the ground so the trailer doesn't squat as we load the machine.

Later the machine is pulled onto a flat bed trailer with come-alongs, and finally held in place by putting nails through the 2x6's into the floor of the trailer. Nails are not driven all the way down so they are easily pulled later.

The machine is also lashed off in all four directions with ratchet straps.

On a 1 day notice, we had 2 days to get it out.

1st day we put the mill on the 2x6's and moved it to the garage door: 6 hrs. The 2nd day loaded the machine onto trailer, 4 hrs. , We then moved it about 50 miles, 2 hrs. Unloaded I machine, about 2 hrs.

The machine weighed 2,100 LBS.

All the Crawford value you've come to expect in a fraction of the size!

I currently own and use the following digital compact mirrorless cameras:

 

The Canon G5 (back left) is the oldest digital camera that I still use. I would like to retire it but it has one useful feature that none of my other camera have -- a built-in intervalometer.

 

The Canon G11 (back center) has a reticulated LCD screen that I find useful when I am shooting still life or close-up subjects with the camera mounted on a tripod or a copy stand.

 

The Canon G15 (back right) is the one I take when I need to travel with a light photographic load. The f/1.8 to 2.8 28mm to 140mm fixed zoom lens covers 80% of the subjects I need to shoot. If it had a reticulated LCD, it would be close to perfect for me.

 

The Olympus E-p3 (middle left) and the Olympus E-p1 (middle right) were my handheld available light cameras until I replaced them with the X-Pro1. I am now using them as dedicated black & white cameras.

 

The Fuji X-Pro1 (foreground) is my current handheld available light camera.

 

All six cameras have the following important features that I need:

1. Quiet operation -- especially when shooting theater or in audio recording studios

2. Excellent image quality (jpeg and RAW)

3. Size, weight, and style of a Leica rangefinder

4. A simple user interface that relies more on dials rather than menus

5. Video

 

Some of the important features that I need but none of the six cameras have are:

1. Fast and accurate manual focus control

2. Input jack that accepts a microphone for video audio track

3. Accessory battery pack for extended shooting sessions

 

Some of the important features that I need that some have and some do not include:

1. Built to withstand daily usage -- my G5, E-p1, and E-p3 break too often and too easily

2. High quality, fast, interchangeable lenses -- the Canon lenses are not interchangeable

3. LCD screen that swings, tilts, and rotates -- only on the Canon G5 and G11

4. Hot shoe and PC flash connections for external flash units -- all have hot shoes but only the X-Pro1 has both

SYMEHAWK , SONY EXPERIA Z3 COMPACT

Title: Ultimate Deterrent.

Author: Hank Janson.

Publisher: Compact Books.

Date: 1970.

Artist:

Revue 35 Compact de Luxe, a scarce sister of the Revue 35 Compact Electronic, which is itself also a scarce camera.

 

As far I found out, the difference is in the viewfinder: Both feature a needle of the exposure meter, but the Electronic only indicates over- or underexposure, the de Luxe displays shutter speeds (1000-250-30), similar to a Minox 35.

The Revue 35s are nearly identical to the Vivitar 35 EM. The Vivitar also displays the shutter speeds and its opening for the lens barrel is round, not square.

The producer of this camera is still a mystery, it reminds me of the Revue 400SE/Vivitar 35ES pair.

The logo on this camera, the atomic model, looks like the early Yashica logo, but it is not the same.

 

The camera itself is really cute. With the lever at the bottom you can retract the lens and the shutter button, the lens is protected by a sliding cover then. It has aperture priority AE, the focus has to be set manually. There is a small button above the viewer, which obviously has the same function like the half pressed shutter button: the meter is switched on and the needle in the viewer indicates the expected shutter speed, furthermore a red light becomes visible on top, I assume it is a battery check (two 1.5 V SR44 are required).

The film speed dial around the rewind crank is devided in half-steps (!) from 25 to 400+1/2, perhaps 560 ASA.

Most parts of the housing are made of thin plastic. There are small cracks around some screws and the window of the viewer is broken too.

 

Update after one roll of film: Yes, really a fine camera. Sometimes I had mixed up the feet and the meter scale, but that didn't matter ...

Picture 1, Picture 2.

In 1982 Mercedes-Benz released the production version of more than a decade's research into developing a compact format, efficient and safe luxury car. The name '190' referred back to the 1950 and 60s versions of 'reduced power output' models of their mainstream saloon car range. The 190E specified a fuel-injected 2.0 litre, four cylinder engine, whilst a 190 model, without the 'E' (for einspritz' appellation, referred to the same engine, but using a carburetor.

 

This is the version most commonly seen in taxis, along with a 2.0 litre 4-cylinder diesel, with even less power......

 

Then something strange happened within the halls of Mercedes-Benz....

 

190E 2.3-16 & 2.5-16 "Cosworth":

 

In the late 1970s, Mercedes competed in rallying with the big V8-powered Coupés of the R107 Series, mainly the light-weight Mercedes 450 SLC 5.0. Mercedes wished to take the 190 E rallying, and asked British engineering company Cosworth to develop an engine with 320 bhp (239 kW) for the rally car. This project was known as project "WAA' by Cosworth". During this time, the Audi Quattro with its all-wheel drive and turbocharger was launched, making the 2.3-16v appear outclassed. With a continued desire to compete in high-profile motor sport with the 190, and also now an engine to do it with, Mercedes turned to the Deutsche Tourenwagen Meisterschaft (DTM) (German Touring Car Championship) motor sport series instead. Cars racing in this championship, however, had to be based on a roadgoing model. Mercedes therefore had to put into series production a 190 fitted with a detuned version of the Cosworth engine. This high-performance model was known as the 190 E 2.3-16, and debuted at the Frankfurt Auto Show in September 1983, after its reputation had already been established. Three cars, only slightly cosmetically altered, had set three world records in August at the Nardo testing facility in Italy, recording a combined average speed of 154.06 mph (247.94 km/h) over the 50,000 km endurance test, and establishing twelve international endurance records. The Mercedes 190-E Cosworth was also featured on the second episode in series fifteen of the popular car show Top Gear.

 

Engin:

 

2.5-16 Cosworth

The Cosworth engine was based on the M102 four cylinder 2.3-litre 8-valve 136 hp (101 kW) unit already fitted to the 190- and E-Class series. Cosworth developed the cylinder head, "applying knowledge we've learnt from the DFV and BDA." It was made from light alloy using Coscast's unique casting process and brought with it dual overhead camshafts and four valves per cylinder, meaning 16 valves total which were developed to be the "largest that could practically be fitted into the combustion chamber".

 

In roadgoing trim,the 2.3 L 16-valve engine made "185 hp (138 kW) at 6,200 rpm and 174 lb·ft (236 N·m) at 4,500 rpm. The oversquare 95.50 x 80.25 mm bore and stroke dimensions ensuring that it revs easily up to the 7000 rpm redline". Acceleration from 0–100 km/h (62 mph) was less than eight seconds, and the top speed was 230 km/h (143 mph).

 

US-Specification cars had a slightly reduced compression ratio (9.7:1 instead of 10.5:1), and were rated at 167 hp (125 kW) @ 5800 rpm and 162 lb·ft (220 N·m) @ 4750.

 

The roadgoing version of the engine was reconfigured with reduced inlet and exhaust port sizes, different camshaft profiles, no dry sump configuration and Bosch K-jetronic replacing the specialised Kugelfischer fuel injection. These changes helped bring power down to the required 185 bhp (138 kW) specification, but still resulted in a "remarkably flexible engine, with a very flat torque curve and a wide power band". The heads for the engines were cast at Cosworth's Coscast foundry in Worcester and sent to Germany to be fitted to the rest of the engine, parts of which were different from the standard 2.3 including light pressed alloy pistons, and rings designed to withstand higher engine speeds, whilst con-rods, bearings and bearing caps were found to be strong enough as standard and left unaltered.

 

16v differences:

 

Due to their performance, the 16-valve cars were different from the other 190 models. The body kit on the 2.3-16 and 2.5-16 reduced the drag coefficient to 0.32, one of the lowest CD values on a four-door saloon of the time, whilst also reducing lift at speed. The steering ratio was quicker and the steering wheel smaller than that on other 190s, whilst the fuel tank was enlarged from 55 to 70 L. The Getrag 5-speed manual gearbox was unique to the 16-valve and featured a 'racing' gear pattern with 'dog-leg' first gear, left and down from neutral. This meant that the remaining 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th gears were in a simple H pattern allowing fast and easy selection. The gearchange quality was, however, noted as "notchy, baulky", criticisms which weren't levelled at the BMW M3 (E30) which shared the same gearbox. The pattern is also unusual in that the driver engages reverse by shifting left and up from neutral, as for first gear in a conventional pattern. This was demonstrated in a Top Gear episode (S15E02) where James May took a 190E 2.3-16 Cosworth and repeatedly confused reverse and first gear. An oil cooler was fitted to ensure sufficient oil cooling for the inevitable track use many of these cars were destined for.

 

The strictly four-seater interior had Recaro sports seats with strong side bolsters for front and rear passengers. 3 extra dials - an oil temperature gauge, stopwatch and voltmeter - were included in the centre console. The 190 E 2.3-16 was available in only two colours, Blue-Black metallic (Pearl Black in the US), and Smoke Silver. The 2.5-16 added Almandine Red and Astral Silver.

 

All 2.3-16-valve 190 models are fitted with a Limited Slip Differential (LSD) as standard. They were also available with Mercedes' ASD system which was standard equipment on the 2.5-16v. The ASD is an electronically controlled, hydraulically locking differential which activates automatically when required. The electronic control allows varied amounts of differential lock from the standard 15% right up to 100%. It is not a traction control system however, and can only maximize traction rather than prevent wheel spin. Activation of the ASD system is indicated by an illuminating amber triangle in the speedometer.

 

The suspension on 16-valve models is very different from the standard 190 (W201). As well as being lower and stiffer, it has quicker dampers, larger anti-roll bars, harder bushings and hydraulic Self-levelling suspension (SLS) on the rear. This allows the rear ride height to remain constant even when the car is fully loaded.

 

At the inauguration of the new, shorter Nürburgring in 1984, a race with identical cars was held, with former and current F1 pilots at the wheel. A then unknown Ayrton Senna took first place.

 

Private Teams such as AMG later entered the 2.3-16 in touring cars races, especially the DTM. In the late 1980s, the 2.5-16 (never released in the United States) raced many times, against the similar BMW M3 and even the turbocharged Ford Sierra RS Cosworth.

 

Evolution models:

 

2.5-16 Evolution II

With the debut of the BMW M3 Sport Evolution, Mercedes' direct competitor, it became obvious that the 2.5-16 needed a boost for the circuit. In March 1989, the 190 E 2.5-16 Evolution debuted at the Geneva Auto Show. The Evo I, as it came to be called, had a new spoiler and wider wheel arches. Many changes were made to under-the-skin components such as brakes and suspension. There was a full SLS suspension allowing vehicle ride height to be adjusted from an interior switch. All were intended to allow the Evolution cars to be even more effective round a track.

 

The Evo I's output is similar to the 202 bhp (151 kW) of the "regular" 2.5-16. However this car had a redesigned engine of similar capacity but, most importantly, a shorter stroke and bigger bore which would allow for a higher rev limit and improved top-end power capabilities. Additional changes stretch to "rotating masses lightened, lubrication improved and cam timing altered". Cosworth also list a project code "WAC" for the development of the short-stroke Evolution engine.

 

Only 502 units of the Evolution model were produced for homologation in compliance with DTM rules. For those customers desiring even more performance, a PowerPack option engineered by AMG was available for DM 18,000. The PowerPack option included hotter camshafts, a larger diameter throttle body, more aggressive ignition and fuel management as well as optimization of the intake and exhaust systems. The net result was an additional 30 bhp (22 kW).

 

In March 1990, at the Geneva Auto Show, the 190 E 2.5-16 Evolution II was shown. With the success of the first Evolution model, this model's 502-unit production was already sold before it was unveiled.

 

The "Evo II" included the AMG PowerPack fitted to the same short-stroke 2.5 engine as the Evolution, as well as a full SLS suspension allowing vehicle ride height to be adjusted from an interior switch. An obvious modification to the Evolution II is a radical body kit (designed by Prof. Richard Eppler from the University of Stuttgart) with a large adjustable rear wing, rear window spoiler, and Evolution II 17-inch wheels. The kit served an aerodynamic purpose — it was wind tunnel tested to reduce drag to 0.29, while at the same time increasing downforce. Period anecdotes tell of a BMW executive who was quoted as saying "if that rear wing works, we'll have to redesign our wind tunnel." The anecdote claims that BMW did.

 

As mentioned 500 were made in "blauschwarz" blue/black metallic. But the last two, numbers 501 and 502 were made in astral silver.

Just for fun, up to date in 2001: 1.3 Megapixels (1280x960), no video mode, ISO 100 fixed, jpg-only, CF-card, 4 Mignon cells. There is still a delay between pressing the shutter button and taking the picture, action photography would be somewhat cumbersome.

 

The image quality is amazingly good, especially the colors. It could be possible, that the lens (35 to 105 mm in 35mm world) is responsible for that.

 

The camera requires an extra battery (CR2016) for the clock and keeping the settings in memory. There were still pictures on the CF-card, and the last one was taken 9 years ago, surprizingly the clock was more or less right in time. I've made the experience that clocks in digital devices, even in expensive ones, are running out of time after a month already.
