Shot on long-expired 100ASA Fujicolor, meter set to 64ASA. I thought that this little Konica might have had an erratic shutter, but it seems to be working okay. The exposures were consistant throughout the roll, including the 14 pictures that I took of the back of the lens cap.
I learned a lot this afternoon from simply asking library staff if I could take some photos in the library. First of all, that no one whom I initially asked knew the answer to my question suggests that not many people take photos in the library, for whatever reason, for which reason the staff did not know whether or not I could take photos. Second, that the more I asked around, the more my question crept quietly up the chain of command, until at length the director of the library was asked, when she walked onto the premises after lunch, suggests that there is a centralized command in the library; in that regard, this institution is not organized in a similar manner to the way by which HKU is organized. Finally, that nobody knew the answer but rather than assume authority deferred to the director's discretion suggests that there are very few change agents, if any at all, in this institution. That isn't necessarily a bad thing, however, because this organization likely doesn't have to deal with major change at the moment: the best course of action is plodding straight ahead.
Likewise, no one whom I asked knew about the library's renovation cost and the cost of being a donor; but these staff members did point me to someone else who could possibly answer my question!
The lights were off in the men's washroom. It seems as if the washroom isn't used much. Inside the washroom, I noticed the automated sinks, urinals and paper towel dispenser -- that reminded me much of Hong Kong and South Korea; automation has arrived in America! In addition, I enjoyed the hot water flowing from the sinks. That was a pleasant surprise.
What impresses me the most about this library is the seating variety. There are not only many different types of seating furniture, but also many different environments in which these seats are placed: by windows; inside rooms; in seating areas; in corners. In addition, just as there were many different types of furniture looks, so there were, in fact, more broadly, many different, conspicuous areas in the library. They were clearly labeled to boot. In this way, this library shares its best feature with the City University of Hong Kong library: such a variety of learning spaces that surely one would find at least one type conducive toward studying. In this instance, I liked to study at the rectangular table in the cafe area. Many libraries, including the HKU library, could certainly improve its learning space by following the diversity model adopted by both the CityU library and the Livingston library.
What also makes this library conducive toward studying is its underuse. One could find a seat anywhere in the library: no squatting, thankfully. The shelves also seem underutilized. While on an individual basis, this surplus in seating is a boon, this surplus is lamentable for the community since it obviously isn't taking full advantage of this invaluable learning space!
I gushed about the effectiveness of the library's learning space to the staff. Perhaps they were amused that such a mundane environment to them could be so special to me.
I love this BMW classic, it is such a pleasure to see a wholesome car like this being well looked after and not neglected. Wish more car owners were like this BMW owner

My willingness and desire to live in a society with less throwaway and more reusability, was today substantialized by my purchase of a second hand Husqvarna Automatic 21A. A sewing-machine from the 70:s, totally imbued with genuine quality and durability. No plastic gear here! No limitation of useful life! Plainly a machine that is built to function. The way all machines should be built, long before the streamlining and downsizing of companies. When customers were willing to pay the actual cost of a great product.

Before I soldered up the battery well, I wanted to make sure my splicing didn't fail during reassembly. I stuck the bare end of the splice into the bottom of the well, placed a 357 battery in it, pushed down to make contact, and the meter jumped to life. This test should have been done at the start of all this too, to make sure that there weren't any other hidden problems.

Bellissima fotocamera ottimamente conservata con prestigioso obiettivo Rodenstock Ysarex F2.8 50mm. Rarità di una minuscola casa tedesca.
The Iloca Automatic was a semi-automatic rangefinder made by the german manufacturer Iloca. It could be fitted with Rodenstock Ysarex 2.8/50 and Synchro-Compur shutter. The selenium meter is coupled to the aperture and speed settings, the correct exposure is given by a match-needle system visible on top of the camera. No information is given in the finder.

This is one of the last of the Iloca cameras, the Iloca AUT-O-Matic. It is a development of the Rapid III model and shares the same features, including built-in exposure meter and built-in rangefinder. It does, however, differ in a few ways. Firstly, the dial for setting the ASA film speed has been moved to the camera's base. Secondly, the camera's exposure setting is now adjusted using the small dial on the lower front of the camera which is coupled to the in-built lightmeter. Turning the dial changes the aperture until the two meter needles are aligned (note that the meter on this camera has no scales at all). Once set, the coupled shutter/aperture combinations are retained - that is, increasing the shutter speed via the shutter speed ring results in a corresponding decrease in aperture. Hence the 'Automatic' aspect of this camera, and quite a clever approach to setting exposures. This feature was also part of the Iloca Electric design.
This particular camera has a 50mm F2.8 Cassarit lens which is capable of producing quite sharp images. The model was also available with a Rodenstock Ysarex F2.8 50mm lens.
The camera has a good rangefinder and the shutter button is on the front panel similar to the Rapid III. A separate opening for a cable release is located on the top panel. Like most Ilocas, this camera is quite pleasant to hold and has a nice, solid feel to it, although it does feel a little bit more bulky than some of the previous models. However, this does not detract from the overall handling and feel.
This model is in many ways the culmination of all of the Iloca fixed lens rangefinder models, and it illustrates Iloca 's quest to develop a quality camera with a degree of automation to make life easier for the photographer. You can see Iloca's plan unfolding with this model which, together with the more sophisticated Iloca Electric, was headed towards the concept of the Iloca auto-electric, a camera intended to offer photographers a level of automation in the modern idiom.
One tip for opening the back on these cameras - turn the dial marked 'R' on the base plate fully in the direction of the arrow. This causes the rewind knob on the top plate to pop out from its housing. Pull this knob upwards to its full extension, then slowly twist clockwise until the springloaded mechanism releases the back. The back on these models is not symmetrical and only fits one way. Replacing the back is generally the reverse of the above procedure. One thing is for certain - the back is never going to fall off this camera by accident!!
In Summary
A quality camera which was the culmination of all of the Iloca fixed lens models. This camera is capable of producing nice sharp images and, like its earlier counterparts, seems to be robust, well built and has a nice feel. Most likely the last of the production fixed lens Iloca cameras.
