(technically equivalent to Panasonic DMC-LC1)
A "compact" camera (roughly as large as a DSLR) with a fast zoom lens and a 2/3" sensor.
The lens diameter is such that the sensor uses only the area near the central axis, so the optical quality is very high.
The sensor quality does not appear to match the that of the glass, as far as I can tell.
Ergonomics are excellent. Zoom, manual focus and f-stop are operated by rings on the lens barrel. The focus ring notches into an AF and AF-Macro stop. The exposure time is set by a dial on the camera body. Mostly, and unusually for a compact camera, the photographer will not be choosing all settings in this way.
The flash can be used in either of two modes, either flashing directly forward (the fairly large distance from the lens should minimize the red-eye-occurrence, or tilted upwards and bouncing its light off the ceiling. I haven't tried the flash, so I don't know how well this works.
Shot with a Canon EOS600D and a Leitz-Summicron-R 50mm manual focusing lens.
Porst compact-reflex with Porst Color Reflex Auto MC 1.4/55 G
My first "modern" M42-SLR from Porst, the Porst compact-reflex, which is Cosina CSM. This copy is only named compact-reflex, but there many cameras with a further identifier, like S, SP, AM, OC, OCN, OE, OS, OV and probably some more. It would be painful to assign those cameras to the specific Cosina model, but I think the camera above and the S/SP have M42 thread mount, the others Pentax K-mount.
For sure it is no high-end camera, but it's fine. Full electronical shutter from 4 s to 1/1000 s and one mechanical time, 1/50 s. The self-timer also looks mechanical but it works completely electronically, you can't cock it until the shutter is cocked or in position "B", and it is combined with a mirror lock-up. Viewfinder with split-screen and illuminated under/over indicator for exposure metering. Yes, the metering is a bit different compared with other cameras, where you have to stop down for metering with a DOF-button which also switches the meter on. When you press the shutter button half-way on this camera, the aperture closes and the meter is switched on. If you release the shutter again, the meter is switched off, but the aperture stay closed. If you want to open the aperture again, you have to press the silver "aperture release button" next to the lens. It's easy to confuse this button with a DOF-button. It's a clever operation, better than the one on some old Chinon cameras, where you have to close the aperture with the force of your finger via the shutter buttton.
The 207 Compact was a facelifted 206, in Europe it was called 206+. It was made in Argentina and France, but we got the french one, except for some versions with petrol engines.
The Sandugo was a blood compact, performed in the island of Bohol in the Philippines, between the Spanish explorer Miguel López de Legazpi and Datu Sikatuna the chieftain of Bohol on March 16, 1565, to seal their friendship as part of the tribal tradition. This is considered as the first treaty of friendship between the Spaniards and Filipinos. "Sandugo" is a Visayan word which means "one blood".
Las Ruinas de Tulum. Tulum Ruins. Mexico. Oct/2016
Tulum archaeological site is relatively compact compared with many other Maya sites in the vicinity, and is one of the best-preserved coastal Maya sites. Its proximity to the modern tourism developments along the Mexican Caribbean coastline and its short distance from Cancún and the surrounding "Riviera Maya" has made it a popular Maya tourist site in the Yucatan.
It was the site of a Mayan port which was supported by up to 1000 residents before the arrival of the Spanish. The ruin's tropical beach backdrop is the main attraction of this picturesque, much-visited small ruin on the shore of the Caribbean Sea
Each Mayan city had a specific purpose, and Tulum was no exception. It was a seaport, trading mainly in turquoise and jade.
As well as being the only Mayan city built on a coast, Tulum was one of the few protected by a wall.
Made of limestone, the 784-metre wall encloses the site on three sides, is seven metres thick, and varies between three and five metres in height. No doubt this fortification helped preserve the seaport.
Like the questions which surround the decline of the Mayan world, there are several theories as to why a wall surrounds Tulum. One has a Mayan population of 600 on the inside, protected from invaders. Another suggests only priests and nobility were housed within the walls, while peasants were kept on the outside.
After entering the ruins through one of five doorways in the wall, visitors are greeted by a field of gently-rolling hills. Black and grey stone outcroppings, which were once buildings, dot the sun-baked landscape.

A península mexicana de Yucatan, onde ficam as cidades de Cancun e Playa del Carmen, é uma região que foi habitada séculos atrás pela civilização maia. As antigas cidades ocupadas por este povo agora são ruínas preservadas e tornaram-se atrações turísticas muito visitadas. Um dos sítios arqueológicos mais importantes é o de Tulum, a cidade murada que se encontra de frente para o mar do caribe mexicano.
Esta cidade era designada pelos maias pelo nome de Zamá, que significa cidade da aurora. Tulum é também uma palavra maia para barreira ou parede, o que se entende facilmente pois a cidade encontra-se rodeada de espessa muralha protectora.
O primeiro a identificar a cidade foi Juan Díaz, que em 1518 fazia parte da expedição de Juan de Grijalva. A sua descrição de Tulum é a de uma cidade rica e magnífica, à imagem de Sevilha na Espanha. No entanto, o primeiro estudo detalhado do sítio deveu-se aos famosos exploradores John Lloyd Stephens e Frederick Catherwood, que publicaram em 1843 o livro Incidents of Travel in Yucatan.
Actualmente, milhares de turistas visitam as ruínas de Tulum diariamente, sobretudo em excursões organizadas. Tulum é o terceiro sítio arqueológico do México mais visitado atrás de Teotihuacan e Chichén Itzá e à frente de Monte Albán.

Got my Canon 7D repaired. Here is a shot of the bent pin before I took it into the shop. The bent pin pretty much made my camera useless so it had to be fixed. If you want to find out how much it cost to repair, you can read about it on my site:

My '95 E36 Compact.
Unfortunately, the EXIF is missing. Note that this is an 8s long exposure lit only by a street lantern.
I did some heavy post processing on this one: desaturated all but the coloured applications (I like the rim logos best), meddled with highlights and shadows and got rid of all noise to give it a smooth look.
