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.
Pentacon Penti I with 3.5/30 Meyer-Optik Domiplan
(and lens protection)
Very compact camera for 35 mm film in SL-cassettes (Rapid cassette, Agfa Karat cassette), for 24 exposures of 18 x 24 mm frame size per film. It looks like made for users attracted to stylish stuff, it was even available in different colors. But the Penti is not just only stylish, it is a serious, solid camera and it was very successful in the German Democratic Public: the different versions were produced from 1958 to 1977, 800,000 units were made all in all.
The development of the Penti began in the years before the consolidation of the VEB Pentacon, so several companies were involved. It was designed at Zeiss Ikon, mainly by Walter Hennig, and produced at the Welta Kamerawerk, the first model was called "Welta Orix". Shortly after its introduction it was renamed in "Penti" (this version has a small viewfinder window on the front side, to distinguish it from later versions it is sometimes called "Penti 0"). In 1961 the Penti II followed, it became the most successful version. The main innovation was a coupled exposure meter with a Selenium cell, it is controlled with a needle in the viewfinder, which has an also new bright frame. The Penti I, the camera above in the picture, was exactly like the Penti II, but just without exposure meter. It has also the wide window on the front, but instead of the Selenium cell it has only a black covering. It even has the lever for setting the film speed, but it has no true meaning, it can be used as a reminder. It is also possible that the ring with that lever is required for a proper function of that set of rings, because it acts like a spring. Furthermore, if you could look inside the camera, you would find the empty housing which bears the coil instrument in the Penti II. Afaik the Penti I was only offered for some years in the mid-sixties.
The design of the camera is fantastic, all parts are integrated in the massive aluminium frame, which lays between two golden shells. The "lens barrel" protrudes less than 10 mm and contains the controls for shutter speed, f-stop, focus distance and film speed. Furthermore a DOF-scale, marks for the flash-synchronization and a filter thread with 18 mm diameter, a suitable (golden colored) sun shade was available. The film is advanced by a plunger, it is the rod you can see protruding on the right side of the camera. After an exposure it will spring out, for the next one you just push it back. A simple layout, since the film just must be pushed from one cartridge into another, there is no need for rotating parts like a film advance wheel or rewind crank. And, similar to the Taxona, you can use one hand for the shutter button and the other one for the film transport, so you can shoot continuously very quickly.
Some hints on operation:
* To open the camera pull the back straight away from the camera.
* The frame counter is not self-resetting, the according thumb wheel is in the film chamber
* About the DOF-scale: you can see the two "M" above the distance scale, from inside to outside the three prongs indicate the range of sharpness for f/5.6, f/8 and f/11.
* The knuckle in the accessory shoe is not an x-sync contact. It is springy, to hold accessory better.
* Flash sync: there are two icons on the shutter speed ring, a bulb and a flash (for x-sync), the according index is placed on the ring with the Penti name. For "bulb" the shutter speed is automatically set to 1/30 s, for "flash" to 1/60 s, but 1/125 s and 1/30 s should do it also.
* The camera has a cable release thread and a tripod bush, appropriate to the B-setting.
* The designers even didn't forget the snapshot setting. f/5.6 and the distances 2 and 5 m are enclosed in tiny strokes. If you match them you'll have sharp pictures from 1.5 to 3 m for f/5.6 & 2 m, and from 2.7 m to infinity for f/5.6 & 5 m.
* There are parallax marks in the viewer, they are intended for taking pictures with close-up lenses and indicate the correct position of the frame at a distances of 0.33 m.
If you can live without a full range of shutter speeds, a self-timer and a focusing aid you have a pretty good camera you can work with.
And, like so often, trouble with my exemplar: the bright frame was utterly askew. Someone has pressed to much onto the knuckle in the accessory shoe, so the other side of its spring broke through and damaged the viewfinder. You can open the front of the camera by removing all those rings from around the lens, which requires a good organization to put them aside. You have to start with the focus ring, and there are only two positions of the ring you have access to the screws, at infinity and at 1 m, and you need both. You have to remember the order when reassembling, and it is also somewhat difficult to adjust the focus without focus ring (you can hardly grab the lens), so don't play with the lens when all the rings are removed.
another 0.6 pistol. i've decided that the only thing i can do in 0.6 is pistols, none of my rifles come out very good.

honda motocompo on display at the virginia british motorcycle club rallye - 10.01.06
the motocompo (ncz50) was an air-cooled, one-cylinder, 2-stroke, 49cc scooter, produced by honda from 1981 to 1985. it was never sold individually (nor in the u.s.), but rather as an option for the honda "city" motor car, and was designed to fold up and fit in the trunk. in total, 53,369 units were produced, with a price tag of 80,000 yen (around $675). the motocompo was available in caribbean red, shetland white, and daisy yellow.
Similar to the previous one, but with less space between molecules and different fold on the back.

I've bought compact Canon SX730 for a fun and nice wide angle macro. In fact I've never had a camera with long zoom and now I have so much fun! Nice compact camera. Even on wide angle photos is better than from iPhone (any iPhone). And you have a zoom!
It also has varios manual setting and sometimes it is so usefull.
I added minor levels to the picture for more saturated colors.
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.

Even though I bought myself a new compact camera to help make it easier to take my daily photograph, this strategy only works if you actually go outside during the day and don't stay put writing mindmaps and draft reports...
Hopefully the next few days will see me being able to give my compact camera a bit of a workout.
Compact and lightweight: the ultra-portable build makes this a comfortable lens to carry around, and a great lens to travel with
Shouting the classic compact 35. Since it got wet the light meter doesn’t work but the cheap AliExpress one seems to so we will give that a go

Belonged to my grandfather (fathers side). What a beauty! It's a teeny tiny camera but it's got everything you need and is very well designed. I wish there were digital compact cameras like this. I'd be all over it...
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?
The Agfa Compact was billed as the world's smallest motorized camera, and was the last camera manufactured by Agfa. It is the same height as the Olympus XA, and only about 5 mm wider.

Lens
The compact Canon PowerShot SX70 features a 65x Optical Zoom Lens paired with a 20.3 Megapixel CMOS imaging sensor. It’s equipped with a minimum focusing distance of 0cm3 and has zoom up capability of up to 2730mm. All these features combine to create beautiful close-up shots as well as being capable of stunning wide-angle photography, without having to go about changing lenses.
Video
Take crisp and clear film footage using the PowersShot SX70’s video capabilities. The OLED Electronic Viewfinder, approximately 2.36-million dot, high-definition, offers an accurate representation of what the lens is able to see. This is in addition to the 4k video shooting and grabbing features.
The latest Canon camera has is the first point-and-shoot that the manufacturer has made that’s compatible with the latest RAW format (.CR3).
Digic 8 processor
Canon’s latest Digic 8 processor is also among the highlights one can find in the SX70. With this additions, we should now be seeing an improvement in image quality when compared to the 16.1MP chip used by the SX60 HS.
Like the SX60 HS, the lens is still at 65x, almost half of what’s been outfitted on the new Nikon P100.
The maximum aperture range is F3.4-6.5.

IBIS
It’s also worth mentioning that the camera’s image stabilization system is made better with the addition of a new image processor, which is able to reduce shake by as much as five stops.
The SX70 HS can shoot bursts at 10 fps with focus locked or 5.7 fps with continuous AF. UHD 4K video can be captured at 30p with a bit rate of 120Mbps.
The SX70 continues to offer a microphone socket. The camera’s wireless connectivity includes Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
