The Saab 900 is a compact luxury automobile which was produced by Saab from 1978 until 1998 in two generations. The first generation from 1978 to 1993 is known as the "classic" and the generation from 1994 to 1998 is known as the "new generation".
The "classic" Saab 900 was based on the Saab 99 chassis, though with a longer front end to meet U.S. frontal crash regulations. The 900 was produced in 2- and 4-door sedan, and 3- and 5-door hatchback configurations and, from 1986, as a cabriolet (convertible) model. There were single- and twin-Zenith carburettor, fuel-injection, and turbocharged engines, including both Full Pressure Turbo (FPT), and, in European models during the early 1990s, Light Pressure Turbos.

Les càmeres de cinema Siemens Kino de 16mm foren unes de les més complexes i compactes del món abans de la II Guerra Mundial. Oferien moltes opcions, incloent diverses velocitats o visor telemetric. També eren extraordinariament petites per a ser de format 16mm, però això era perquè feien servir casets intercanviables propis de 15m. (en comptes de les bobines usuals de 30m.) amb l’unic inconvenient de tenir menys pel•licula. Però al ser intercanviables, es podia, teoricament, anar canviant de emulsió (com després faran les càmeres Hasselblad).
El model F-II és el més evolucionat de tots, i va sortir el 1938. Es fabricà de 1938 a 1940, acabant la producció durant la guerra, i reiniciant-se breument a la postguerra, entre 1947 i 1950. Tant el model F com el F-II destacaven sobre els altres per tenir objectius intercanviables (del tipus “C”, compatibles amb la majoria de càmeres de 16mm). En aquesta càmera en concret he obtingut el objectiu standard per a les F, el Jos. Schneider Kreutznach Xenon f1.5 / 25mm. L’altre caracteristica avançada de la F-II era el visor regulable tant per paralatge (movent tot el visor depenent de la proximitat de la escena enfocada a la càmera, ja que no és reflex) com multifocal, poguent-se adaptar a objectius de entre 25 i 100 mm. De fet, per a aquesta càmera es desenvolupà el primer objectiu zoom del cinema amateur (Vario-Glaukar-Anastigmat), que es conectava al visor i movia la focal d’aquest de manera coordinada.
Aquesta càmera en concret, que venia amb diversos cassets Siemens (alguns carregats i altres buits) funciona prou bé. Com a curiositat dir que té diverses modificacions (fetes de manera profesional) al frontal i els laterals, com si es pogués conectar amb altres aparells. Per això penso que potser es va fer servir en algun tipus de laboratori o industria.
A tot això, hi ha encara una altra derivada historica rellevant d’aquest model Siemens Kino F-II, i és que fou un dels dos models de càmeres Siemens que emprà Eva Braun, la “amiga intima” del Führer (i esposa per menys de 24h) per a les filmacions casolanes del entorn de Hitler. Filmacions que varen sobreviure a la guerra i que son una molt interesant vista al dia a dia del dictador sobretot en l’idilic entorn del Berghof del Obersaltzberg. Pel que he pogut investigar per internet, sobretot amb les fotos que es conserven, sembla que Eva Braun va fer servir una Siemens C des del 1934 fins 1938, any en que canvià a una Siemens F-II fins al final. Les dues serien logicament regals de Hitler.

====================================
Siemens Kino 16mm film cameras were some of the most complex and compact in the world before World War II. They offered many options, including various speeds or rangefinder viewer. They were also extraordinarily small for 16mm format, but that was because they used proprietary 15 m. interchangeable cartridges. (instead of the usual 30 m. reels) with the only drawback of having less film. But being interchangeable, it was possible, theoretically, to change the emulsion (as the Hasselblad cameras will later do).
The Model F-II is the most advanced of all, and came out in 1938. It was manufactured from 1938 to 1940, ending production during the war, and restarting briefly in the postwar period, between 1947 and 1950. Both the Model F like the F-II stood out from the others for having interchangeable lenses (of the “C” type, compatible with most 16mm cameras). On this particular camera I got the standard lens for the Fs, the Jos. Schneider Kreutznach Xenon f1.5 / 25mm. The other advanced feature of the F-II was the adjustable viewfinder for both parallax (moving the entire viewfinder depending on the proximity of the scene focused on the camera, since it is not reflex) and multifocal, being able to adapt to objectives of between 25 and 100 mm. In fact, the first amateur cinema zoom lens (Vario-Glaukar-Anastigmat) was developed for this camera, which was connected to the viewfinder and moved its focal point in a coordinated manner.
This particular camera, which came with several Siemens cassettes (some loaded and some empty) works well enough. As a curiosity to say that it has several modifications (made professionally) on the front and the sides, as if it could be connected to other devices. That's why I think that maybe it was used in some kind of laboratory or industry.
In addition to all this, there is still another relevant historical derivative of this Siemens Kino F-II model, and that is that it was one of the two Siemens camera models used by Eva Braun, the "intimate friend" of the Führer (and wife for less of 24h) for the home filming of Hitler's entourage. Footage that survived the war and is a very interesting view of the dictator's day-to-day life, especially in the idyllic surroundings of the Berghof in the Obersaltzberg. From what I've been able to research online, especially with surviving photos, it appears that Eva Braun used a Siemens C from 1934 until 1938, when she switched to a Siemens F-II until the end. Both would logically be gifts from Hitler. There are photos of her with both models:

My favorite compact, Olympus 35RC, all ready for action: small, light strap for hanging on shoulder, vented lens hood (uneccessary but fun) and wide angle finder (absolutely unecessary but fun).
I just can't say how nice it is to shoot with an RC -- I actually agree with Ken Rockwell that in many functional ways, this camera is better than a Leica.
At 7.20pm this evening.

Built with an enclosed pre-flight deck The Compact Carrier maximizes efficiency with its dual runways. The rear allowing incoming aircraft a dedicated landing strip while the front allows for multi weather launches with a dedicated catapult system. The ship itself is equiped with radar jammers, S-A missiles and multiple AAA guns with a compact missile defence grid intergated aswell.
Designed for maximum survivability of cargo the CC stores her aircraft deep under numerous steel decks. While shipboard defence systems are state of the art.
The CC carries 4 flights of Mig-35s and several Siberian helicopters of varying size.

Some of the compacts that I love. I think these are some of the most fun you can have with a film camera.

David Baily wird nicht jeder kennen aber seine Fotos aus dem turbulenten London der 1960iger und 70iger Jahre sind weltbekannt. Er hat die Hauptfiguren, die diese Epoche mitgeprägt haben, vor der Kamera gehabt. Von Twiggy über Andy Warhol, The Beatles, den Rolling Stones, der Queen bis hin zu Gangsterbrüdern, reicht die Bandbreite der abgelichteten Protagonisten.
Mit der „Olympus Trip35“ hat Baily Geld verdient, er hat für sie geworben. Vermutlich hat dieser Aspekt auch dazu geführt, dass diese kleine, einfach zu bedienende, Kamera Kultobjekt geworden ist.
David Baily won't be known to everyone, but his photos from the turbulent London of the 1960s and 70s are world famous. He has had the main characters who have shaped this epoch on camera. From Twiggy to Andy Warhol, The Beatles, the Rolling Stones, the Queen to gangster brothers, the spectrum of the protagonists photographed ranges.
Baily earned money with the "Olympus Trip35", he advertised for it. Probably this aspect also led to this small, easy-to-use camera becoming a cult object.
Shot in... Paris with my... Compact camera, it fell in some vodka at some point I think, so it is a bit blurry at the center.
Atacama Compact Array (ACA) on the ALMA high site at an altitude of 5000 metres in northern Chile. The ACA is a subset of 16 closely separated antennas that will greatly improve ALMAâs ability to study celestial objects with a large angular size, such as molecular clouds and nearby galaxies. The antennas forming the Atacama Compact Array, four 12-metre antennas and twelve 7-metre antennas, were produced and delivered by Japan.

This shy compact cutie was found on a leaf, trying not to be noticed, but I was quite excited to see her. She's only the third one I've found. She's an orbweaver, but I have yet to find one in a web.
I'd say they're well named, except the namer clearly doesn't know anatomy, as that is her butt and not her belly. But she does look "starry", and both Latin and common names include that. Perhaps the person who named her was a fan of Dr. Seuss.
She fits together quite well, and I saw all three that I found in this tight pose. Browsing my photos for what to post today, I was struck by the extreme difference between her resting form and that of today's other post. These are found all over the eastern half of the US, and down into Central America a bit.
