Made in France ... nicht China oder eine andere fernöstliche Herkunft, wie man vielleicht – vorurteilsbeladen – beim Anblick solcher Plastik-Geräte denkt. Porst ließ sich diese Kassettenkamera Ende der 1970er in Frankreich fertigen, das Original hieß Fex Indo 126 EL compact.
Erstaunlich ist die sehr ordentliche Verarbeitung: nichts scheppert oder quietscht oder passt nicht. Die Rückwand z. B. rastet ohne das geringste Spiel ein, auch der Transporthebel wackelt nicht im geringsten. Der Auslöser funktioniert fast wie die Sensor-Taste von Agfa: Bei moderatem Fingerdruck wird (offensichtlich durch Federdruck) der Verschluss betätigt.
Vergessen sollte man aber die fingierten Belichtungsmesser-Zellen, die ebenso wie die "Serien-Nummer" des Objektivs eine höhere Klasse vortäuschen sollen. Auch der Blitzschuh wirkt wie nachträglich aufgesetzt, an dieser Stelle war bei einem Schwestermodell ein Blitzwürfel-Sockel.
Das Fixfokus-Objektiv hat die Lichtstärke 8 und eine Brennweite von 45 mm. Die Bedienungsanleitung sagt dazu: Mit dem Schnappschußobjektiv Ihrer Kamera gelingen scharfe Aufnahmen von 1,5 m bis unendlich. Die besten Aufnahmen werden im Schnappschußbereich (1,5–3 m) gemacht. Dafür ist Ihre Kamera speziell eingerichtet.
Die Belichtungseinstellungen sind überraschend vielfältig, zumindest für diese Art Aufnahmegerät: "Sonne" bedeutet 1/150 s und Blende 11, "Wolke" stellt 1/100 u. Blende 8 ein und "Blitz" lässt es bei Blende 8, aber mit 1/50 s.
Der Preis des Sets (Kamera, Schlaufe, Film) war 49,- DM im Jahr 1979.
Zum Abschluss der Begrüßungstext der Bedienungsanleitung:
Sie haben eine Kassetten-Kamera gekauft, mit der Sie ganz einfach gute Bilder machen können. Die Kamera ist so klein, daß sie nicht nur in jede Tasche paßt, sondern auch im vollsten Handschuhfach noch Platz findet. Sie sind also in jeder Situation schußbereit und man wird Ihre Schnappschüsse bewundern.
Da lassen wir uns doch gerne bewundern. ;-)
I have to admit that last time i really don't know how to take this little cute guy.Now hopefully it is better.Shot this at Mabul house reef under Seaventures rig.Inon D2000 + Inon M165.
I saw this little Superior Pak self contained hook lift compactor at the local shopping centre of the western suburb of Belbowrie. I reckon its an auger type, but not fully sure. Can't remember who owned it, but it was either TPI or Sita.

Fast & Furious 6 Cars: 1970 Ford Escort RS1600
The Little Ford That Flies
Published: 05/02/2013 - by John Pearley Huffman, Contributor
(...) "Think of it as a '69 Camaro for blokes. It's the Ford Escort RS1600: a simple little car shoved full of the best engine Ford and Cosworth could devise. It's England's half-pint muscle car, but it's not that muscular. And it has a flying, memorable turn in Fast & Furious 6 with Brian O'Conner (Paul Walker) at the wheel. It's the sort of appearance that only adds to the car's legend. Even though no one on this side of the Atlantic knows that legend at all."
(...)
"Introduced in 1968, the Escort was Ford's European small car. Back before front-drive orthodoxy crushed the life out of all things, it was a rear-driver built around a few pieces of bent metal pretending to be a unibody chassis, a pair of MacPherson struts up front and a solid rear axle on leaf springs in back. Most of them came with microscopic four-cylinder, overhead-valve engines of 1.1- or 1.3-liter displacement. These were low-compression, low-horsepower engines and you could personally produce more torque than those engines did using only your tongue.
Ordinary? In its day the Escort was more common in England than crumpets or cricket. Pedestrians would walk into them because they were so easy to overlook. It made British Leyland's crap look like exotic delicacies.
But then there was the RS..."
(...)
"In the 1970 Ford Escort RS1600 that power comes from the Cosworth-designed, 1.6-liter twincam 16-valve BDA four-cylinder engine. Released in 1969 and based on Ford's iron "Kent" block, the BDA featured Ford's first four-valve combustion chambers and transformed the sleepy 1970 Escort into a robust athlete prepped to take on rallying. Even with its dual side-draft Weber carbs, the BDA only made about 113 horsepower. But the Escort weighed less than 1,800 pounds, and that gave it a power-to-weight ratio similar to that of the era's nominally more powerful sports cars.
Almost immediately, the blister-fendered Escort RS1600 and its close relatives (including the Mexico and RS2000) began racking up victories across the rallying world. And almost immediately, it became a symbol of what Britain still did well: build great racing engines and tune the hell out of small cars.
Five for Furious Six
"Fast & Furious may be an American production, but it's an international hit. The appeal of the 1970 Ford Escort RS1600, though it was never sold in North America, is to that worldwide audience that appreciates Charger Daytonas and Mustangs, but loves the stuff they grew up with as well.
So the production bought five of the right-hand-drive RS1600s in Great Britain and completely rebuilt them in a British shop. That meant tearing the Escorts down to the bare shells and building them back up again. The engines were rebuilt, new five-speed manual transmissions went in behind them, new roll cages were fitted and each car was equipped with a pair of racing seats. The standard instrumentation was ditched in favor of black panels with Revotec gauges. Forget an ignition key. It's been replaced by a battery connector plug and individual switches for the fuel pump and ignition.
Sitting on 13-by-7-inch Compomotive Minilite-like bladed wheels and painted up in classic blue and white, this is a great-looking little car. The 205/60R13 Federal Super Steel 595 tires fill out the wheelwells, and all the connectors, mud flaps and tie-down springs look perfectly 1970-spec. This is a badass little car."
Flight Tested
"Turn everything on, hit the start button and this twerp growls to life. It sounds as if it's ready to run away and win the London to Mexico rally. And during a short drive around Dennis McCarthy's shop near the Burbank Airport, it drove great. It was raw and a little beastly, but great.
But this RS1600's role in Fast & Furious 6 included a massive jump across a highway divider in the Canary Islands. And no matter how well the Escort seems to handle the epic leap in the film, in reality that's murder to any car.
So the two Ford Escort RS1600s that performed the big jump were destroyed. The first, reports McCarthy, wound up on its roof. And the second landed on its wheels but its structure was pretzeled up nasty."

Shooting film in the old Compact 35. It’s not been the same since it got wet. (Don’t ask) which killed the light meter so I’m running a seperate light meter from AliExpress which works well. For a camera that’s over 50 years old it works
This is truck SL028 collecting greenwaste, with a very slow compactor, this truck sat here for 20 mins compacting its load. That's why this truck is usually on garbage.
My Halina 35x (launched late '50s) and Lumix lx100 (2010's) are naturally radically different in terms of performance. But they're both pleasant cameras to use; a nice size (big enough to handle but small enough for a jacket pocket) and both have the controls you need where you can grab them quickly.
The Trinity (film speed, shutter speed and aperture):
- ISO: N/a for the Halina (film), my Lumix has the second lens dial control that.
- Shutter speed: Halina has a shutter speed ring on the lens, Lumix has a dial on top.
- Aperture control: right out on the front of the lens, where the gods of Olympus always intended it to be.
Shutter release, viewfinder and hotshoe: same places on top plate.
Hard to improve on some things
Taken at 1:2 magnification on a full-frame sensor with 100mm macro lens. This is a gadget for opening new CD jewel cases. You slide the edge of the case along the flat edge of the gadget. This depresses the plastic tab at left, which seesaws the metal blade upward, slicing through the plastic wrapping. How long before this gadget goes the way of the dinosaurs? How long will there be jewel cases to open?
