Built for the Guilds of Historica 10 year anniversary contest on Eurobricks.
The grand entrance to Treacleheim was famous for it's large statues depicting the dwarf brothers Dwim and Dim. As travelers approached the dwarven city, the light would catch off the gem-studded door drawing attention to the large doors. But it was the towering statues that kept visitor's attention as they crossed the bridge.
Wyndor was visiting the dwarves of Treacleheim. The citizen's of his city, Dalig Ulv, were bringing their fall produce to trade for weapons. Raiders were becoming more and more of a problem. And with winter coming soon, it was likely the raids would only increase. Best to be well armed. And what better way to protect yourself than with a dwarven blade?

Please see the camera-wiki article on the Fujica AZ-1.
In the 21st century it would become ubiquitous for interchangeable-lens cameras to come bundled with a midrange zoom lens. But in 1977, Fuji broke new ground* by offering an SLR in a factory bundle with their 43-75mm zoom. That lens's specs are fairly underwhelming; but as the copy indicates, the priority was on compact size. (50/55mm lens kits were also offered.)
This was one of the last Fujica models to continue with their proprietary modification of the 42mm thread mount to allow open-aperture metering, introduced with the Fujica ST801. In keeping with industry trends, soon Fuji would introduce a replacement bayonet mount.
*See the Nikkorex Zoom 35 for a non-interchangeable predecessor.
It's that time a year when generous men begin to sport charitable facial hair in support of cancer research. Watching our male colleagues slowly hair over, we sometimes reminisce over the Old Days, when men committed to their facial hair for the long run. Ladies and Gentlemen — MOVEMBER! Besides their obvious follicular avocation, the men here pictured were keen spectators at the World Professional Sculling Championships for 1901, in Rat Portage (Kenora), Ontario.

Yashica is now also entering the 35mm SLR derby with the Pentamatic, featuring its own unique bayonet mount. (It is not the later Contax/Yashica mount.)
The Pentamatic includes "modern" camera features such as pentaprism viewing, rapid-wind lever, evenly-spaced single-dial shutter speeds, and an instant-return mirror. However the aperture is still semi-automatic: tripping the shutter also stops down the lens to taking aperture, but it does not reopen for brightest viewing until the film is wound on.
In this tale, an adventurous group of elves built a sailing ship and voyaged to Mars.
Only 2,000 copies were printed of this stunning book, which was written and illustrated by Timlin as a gift for his young son.

You can order order a print or high-resolution copy.
Please see the camera-wiki article on the Twin TL. Despite the "Ihagee the originator of the SLR" headline this camera is Japanese. McKeown's somewhat puzzlingly says it was manufactured by Petri and Cosina.
The Exakta TL 500 and TL 1000 are unmistakably Petri rebadges; but the Twin TL looks like no other Petri camera. The front shutter speed dial resembles a Cosina Hi-Lite, which itself went through some mid-production styling changes.

Another look at the compact size of the half-frame Olympus Pen FT which has been out for a few months by now.
Ponder & Best at this time were US distributors for Exakta and Olympus, alongside their most heavily-promoted Mamiya/Sekor and Vivitar lines.

See the wiki article on the Konica FM. The copy here describes very clearly how the meter readings work with setting the lens aperture.
After the momentous 1959 Philadelphia show (notably introducing the Nikon F, etc.) the following year's exhibit seems mostly to be other companies playing catch-up: Every manufacturer and distributor is pulling out the stops to introduce or update their 35mm SLRs; but as the editors wisely ask, "which will survive?"
See wiki articles about:
• Agfaflex
• Aires Penta 35 (advertised here)
• DeJur rebadging a Topcon PRII (advertised here)
• Beseler rebadging a Topcon RII (now with internal, instant-reopen aperture linkage)
• the rare Konica F

The black cylinder contains the corrective optics, filter wheel, and 570-megapixel CCD array of the Dark Energy Camera.
The following description of the telescope comes from here:
"The Victor M. Blanco Telescope, also known as the Blanco 4m, [is] located at the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory (CTIO) in Chile. CTIO is located on top of two mountains in the Chilean Andes; Cerro Tololo, which is 7,200 feet (2,200 meters) high, and Cerro Pachon, which is 8,900 feet (2,700 meters) high. Both mountains are about 285 miles (460 km) north of Santiago and 50 miles (80 km) inland from the coastal city of La Serena. The telescope is operated by the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy and funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation."

Oddly apologetic ad from Ricoh, who admittedly had gone on a bit of a tangent with compact spring-drive models.

Evidently the Wolf family were relatives of the founders of Ritz Camera, with each camera chain eventually growing to be the largest in their respective regions. Ritz Camera grew to be the larger organization, and in 2001 took over the Wolf chain after they faltered financially.
The transition to digital cameras and online shopping was tumultuous for all brick-and-mortar retailers and the combined Ritz chain itself went bankrupt and was reorganized c.2009.
