Another XA for my collection, that's three now ^_^ - This one probably needs new light seals, when I'm feeling brave I'll get some and take on the decaying foam mess.
The XA, introduced in 1979 was the benchmark of the series containing a true rangefinder focusing mechanism and an aperture priority exposure system within its tiny case. It had a six element Zuiko 35mm f:2.8 lens, a CdS exposure meter and a shutter to 1/500. The viewfinder also houses a needle shutter speed indicator.

Pile of waste compact cameras that have already been through a quick value grading. The obviously damaged cams will be made datasafe before entering a raw material reclamation stream. Functional and cosmetically sound cameras that still have a resale value will be made ready for reuse.
The Volvo C30 is a compact four-seater manufactured and marketed by Volvo Cars for model years 2006-2013, available across its single generation as a three-door hatchback. Powered by inline-four and straight-five engines, the C30 is variant of the Volvo S40/V50/C70 range, sharing the same Ford C1/Volvo P1 platform. Volvo marketed the C30 as a premium hatchback or a sports coupe.
The C30's rear styling and frameless glass rear hatch recall Volvo's earlier P1800 ES and Volvo 480.
Initial release (2006)
A production version of C30 T5 with 160-watt sound system was officially unveiled at the 2006 Paris Motor Show.
Early model includes T5 (2.5 litres), 2.4i, 2.0, 1.8, 1.8 Flexifuel, 1.6, D5 (2.4 litre) (132 kW/180PS), D5 (120 kW/163PS) (Belgium only), 2.0D, 1.6D.
The C30's interior is similar to the S40 and V50; sharing the majority of parts including the instrument panel, 'floating' centre stack and steering wheel.
Europe
In late 2006, the C30 was launched in Europe. Engines choices range from a 1.6L inline-4 (petrol or diesel) to a 2.5L inline-5 turbo (2.4L diesel). 2009 added the choices of a 6-speed PowerShift dual-clutch automatic with the 2.0 L petrol and diesel engines, a 1.8L E85 flex-fuel engine, and 1.6L "DRIVe" diesel engines with improved efficiency and optional start/stop capability.
Trim lines include SE and SE Lux in the UK, and Kinetic, Momentum, and Summum (from fewest to most features) in most other European nations. The R-Design package adds interior and exterior accessories including aluminum inlays on the dashboard, R-Design emblems on the steering wheel, seats and floor mats, a rear spoiler and body kit.
Rivals include the Mini, Alfa Romeo Giulietta, and the Audi A3.
North America
The C30 went on sale in Canada in March 2007 as a 2007 model, and in October 2007 in the United States as a 2008 model.
In Canada, the 2.4i was offered until 2011, while the T5 remains available. In the United States, the only engine available has been the T5. For 2008, the US C30 debuted with two trim lines, Version 1.0 and Version 2.0. R-Design was added later in the model year, featuring unique badges and interior trim. Since 2009, the US C30 has been offered in T5 or R-Design trim. In addition, the Polestar performance option (developed in partnership between Volvo Car Corporation and Polestar) became available for the 2012 model year for several Volvo models, including the C30 T5. The software modification to the engine control computer increased output from 227 hp to 250 hp without a reduction in U.S. Environmental Protection Agency fuel economy ratings.

35mm compact camera with 4.5/28 lens
With its fancy collapsible mirror for selfies it looks like a cheap toy camera. Cheap for sure, but it can more like a toy camera. It hasn't a fixfocus lens but zone focus. It has no automatic flash, you have to decide on your own between the four flash modes: on, off, fill-in and night-shot. Furthermore it sports a data back.
In the manual is written, that the lens consists of 3 aspheric elements in 3 groups. Mmmh, I have my doubts, but perhaps the elements are made of plastic at all. A red-eye-reduction is also hidden: it is activated when you press the shutter button half-way for 2 sec. before your shot. The position of the zone focus lever like in the picture above is not documented, but you can observe the position of the lens. It is equal to the group position, so I assume, it is a snap shot mode.
Warranty is provided by "Keyphoto Limited", which is a brand of Concord, a company which sales low-budged cameras made in China, like "Le Clic", etc.
After one roll of film: really unique camera, also the lens.

Son solitarios o forman grupos de alimentación.
Ciclo anual
Lleva a cabo movimientos estacionales pronunciados, relacionados con cambios del nivel del agua en su hábitat.
Habitat y Distribución

Habitan en pantanos de agua dulce, márgenes de estanques, vegetación acuática.
Distribución
Es una especie residente, localizada en Guanacaste, donde es común en ciertas localidades. Desde 1978 se ha reproducido en cantidades reducidas en Isla Pájaros, en la cuenca del río Tempisque. Existen comunicaciones de su presencia en la vertiente del Caribe, donde probablemente sea un migratorio raro. Es regular solo en la región de Río Frío.
Distribución fuera de Costa Rica
Se reproduce desde el noreste de E.U.A. hasta Costa Rica, norte de Venezuela y Antillas Mayores (se ha observado que el alcance de su reproducción se ha ampliado en los últimos años). Invierna desde el sureste de E.U.A. hasta el norte de Norteamérica.

My latest eBay purchase is this smart little Dodge Commando based on a Matchbox toy with scratchbuilt bodywork apparently made about 25 years ago. OEN 587X was acquired second-hand by North Riding Fire & Rescue from Bury Fire Brigade and being rather smaller than my other pumping appliances has been classified as a compact water tender for use in confined spaces.
