The second version of the Ophiophagus Hannah variant Snakehead Psychological Warfare Mecha, the Snakehead Ver. II (with a thankfully shorter name) underwent major changes, the most prominent of which were arms.
Piloted mostly by the Serpente Sapien subspecies, the Snakehead Ver. II is a common sight in reconnaissance mission. It was so popular, in fact, that a civilian frame was released, complete with headlights, turn signals, and brake lights.

BRDM II reconaissance vehicle of the National Volksarmee (NVA) of the DDR. The vehicle is about to take part in the Oktober Parade of 1987.
Taken with a Pentax ME Super SLR with 50mm lens.
First time i see one, everything on this little camera reminded me of the Minolta Hi-Matic F.
Coincidence?
It has the same lens, same battery compartment, same functions.....
The service module for the Artemis II Orion spacecraft was moved into the Final Assembly and System Testing (FAST) Cell inside the Operations and Checkout Building at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, where it will be integrated with the crew module before being handed over to NASA's Exploration Ground Systems for fueling.
This is the UMM Alter II, a Portuguese all terrain vehicle.
Portugal was never famous for its auto industry, this being one of the most successful ones.
They were produced from 1986 to mid-nineties, used Peugeot engines and many can still be found on our roads. This is the short soft top version.
About the model, it has doors and hood that open, engine, detailed interiors, steering and rear suspension.

Contax RTS II with Zeiss 2.4/35 Flektogon
In 1975 the Contax RTS was introduced, a collaboration among Yashica, Zeiss and Porsche. In 1982 the RTS II followed in nearly the same outfit. They can easily be distinguished by the self-timer, the RTS has a mechanical one while the one of the RTS II is electronic. That directs us to the main differences - the RTS II has more electronic on board: LEDs in the viewfinder instead of a needle and TTL-flash metering.
The built quality is fantastic, the camera is often compared with the Nikon F3. Especially the viewfinder is fine, it's like sitting in the cinema and watching an 8k movie. Unfortunately I'm not very enthusiastic about the ergonomics. The camera is not comfortable to hold, and the tip of my index finger easily collides with the ISO-dial when laying on the shutter button.
Some notes:
* The RTS II is optimized for the use with the automatic exposure mode, which means, that you can easily correct (or manipulate) the exposure. First of all the exposure compensation dial is at the prominent place where you usually expect the shutter speed dial, and the dial is large, the values of compensation are clearly visible. If a compensation is set, it is also indicated in the viewer, as "+" or "-". And because you needn't to set a shutter speed in AE mode, the shutter speed dial moved to a less practical place around the rewind crank. Even more sophisticated is the use of the AE-lock. It is activated with a lever around the exposure button at the front side. It locks itself into place and keeps the exposure information until you turn it back, so you can shoot a complete film with the same exposure value without searching the spot with the right brightness again and again. The nice thing: while the exposure is locked, you can change the f-stop and the shutter speed will be corrected automatically (That reminds of those exposure value shutters of the late 50ies, where shutter speed and f-stop are coupled). Not so nice: when the exposure is locked the LEDs in the viewfinder are lit permanently and will exhaust the battery more quickly.
* The funny design of the rewind crank is remarkable. It is possible, that the grip of the crank inhibits the view onto the shutter speed on the dial. To prevent that, the designers made a little basket at the "A", where the grip can rest in. Just for that reason the rewind crank is disengaged from its shaft when it is folded, otherwise it would block the film advance. To make it still possible to control the film advance, there is a white stroke in the center of the rewind crank; it will rotate simultaneously with the film spool.
* Besides a connection for a electronic remote control on the back the RTS II has a second one for a mechanical cable release near the bayonet mount. With the mechanical one the shutter can only be opened in B-mode, and independently of the setting of the shutter speed dial. Unlike the B on the shutter speed dial, that B with the cable release works mechanically, there is no battery required. Perhaps there was an astro photographer among the designers.
* When cameras got more and more electronic and dependent from a battery, some of them has a mechanical back-up shutter speed, mostly set with an "X" on the shutter speed dial. The facility of the RTS II is .. completely different. There is a lever around the DOF-button, if it is turned the DOF-button serves as shutter button. It works always, even when the camera is switched off. The shutter speed is 1/50 s then. The "X" on the shutter speed dial represents the X-sync shutter speed of 1/60 s and it runs only with a battery inserted.
* Perhaps you've noticed the golden cap on PC-socket. It is the "50th anniversary Contax" button and should remind the user of the first Contax from 1932. I have no idea if the button is related to the serial number of the camera body somehow, it can be mounted on every RTS II. This camera here is a common RTS II otherwise. Some people on the net demand money for that gem you can buy a Zeiss lens for.
* RTS stands for "Real Time System", which means that no time should be wasted to open the shutter after the shutter button was pressed. Take that seriously! The shutter opens, when the shutter button is pressed down about half a millimeter. So, if you are pressing down the shutter button to activate the exposure meter like on other cameras - oops, you have already taken a photo. Remember, the exposure meter is activated with an extra button at the front side.
* Yashica offered some nice motor drives for the RTS II, but the winder of my Yashica FR I fits too. The winder of the Contax 139 is not compatible, though the cameras look similar.
* As you can see, Yashica offered also an M42 adapter. So I decided to present the RTS II with a Flektogon, at least the origin of the Distagon. And the only suitable Zeiss lens I have is the 1.7 Planar - can't you afford the 1.4?
The service module for the Artemis II Orion spacecraft was moved into the Final Assembly and System Testing (FAST) Cell inside the Operations and Checkout Building at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, where it will be integrated with the crew module before being handed over to NASA's Exploration Ground Systems for fueling.
It is hard to believe that this glamorous camera was designed and built by Pentacon in the former DDR. The design features a striking textured gold body. Everything matches, the lens barrel, the various control rings, fantastic really!
The Penti II is a half-frame camera and features a Meyer Optik Domiplan 30/3,5. The big difference with other half-frame cameras is that the camera has a built-in selenium meter that has no auto function; just there to help you with a match needle, you are in charge of the speeds and apertures, very neat. Also, the film advance is made by means of a plunging prong, just like the Voigtlander Vitessa, no mean feat!!!
This sophisticated little thing used a similar system to Agfa's Rapid, so no ready available film for this flashy camera.
