Built by Otto himself from Columbus Zona and Reynolds 853. Stainless lazer cut decals and head badge brazed with silver.
Aluminium bodied, custom-built camera for 127 format relying to large extent on the mechanics of a Foth Derby.
Used were the Foth Anastigmat f2.5/50mm lens and focussing helical, the strut and bellows system and the cloth focal plane shutter unit with speed settings of B, 1/25, 1/50, 1/75, 1/100, 1/200, and 1/500. The camera also utilises the notched pressure plate with the two red windows from a Foth Derby 2A/2.5.
The unit is hard to date. It clearly utilises components drawn from a Foth Derby 2A which was introduced in 1932 and which was replaced in 1935 by the Forth Derby 3 (which had two green and two red oval windows on the back).
Note the absence of a viewfinder, the presence of an accessory shoe (presumably to fit a removable rangefinder?), and the addition of a larger shutter adjustment knob shaped from the brass fitting of a Bausch & Lomb Optical Com. Rapid Rectilinear lens. The camera has a has a snap-on back lid and the unit is overall is VERY WELL machined.
It is unclear whether this camera is a prototype of some sort, or whether this is a highly skilled personal modification. The fact that pencil-writing on the inside of the fully removable back lid states "winding end" is not necessarily indicative that it was a British-made unit (although it was acquired from the UK).

For the sixth year in a row I created a Christmas Lego exhibition for the mall Moldetorget, in down town Molde. This is the third year that we placed it in the window of Norway's oldest photo store, Birkeland Foto AS.
This year I created a Christmas market. You can see a Xmas tree seller, a toy maker, a woman selling food and decorative items and a Pizzeria/Bakery. At the end of the street is a church.
90% of what you see is custom built by me, but there are some models from Lego as well.
Oh, and I also included a lot of film, comics, TV and nerdy references. Can you spot them?
