A very basic Compact. Top spotting points if you see one of these now.

From where I sit at this moment, Orkney seems so remote. It's easy to forget that it sits just off John o' Groats and was a bit of Scotland nibbled away and submerged at the end of the Last Glacial Period. Prior to that, the lowered sea levels left Doggerland high and dry — a convenient stepping stone for humans to repopulate Britain from the rest of Europe. Yes, I've been to the very north of the archipelago, to North Ronaldsay. Today I'm away to South Ronaldsay — ironically juxtaposed at opposite ends from its northern namesake. This won't take me to Orkney's most southerly isle, Stroma, which to be honest has less water between it and Scotland that it has between itself and the rest of Orkney.
Here's a reminder of how compact these islands are. This is the northern tip of Glimps Holm looking back across Lamb Holm to Mainland. By now I've crossed two of the causeways constructed as navigation barriers in WWII. There are what appears to be military installations, there on the cliffs of Lamb Holm. In the middleground lie relics of the block ships sunk here early in WWI. I think this was the SS Numidian, an almost 5000 ton steel hulled steamer scuttled here on 30 December 1914. She was sunk in the company of SS Aorangi, SS Thames and SS Minieh with, I think, Numidian in the shallow water near this spot. I could be wrong. If you need a better answer there's a kind of trainspotters' guide to the wrecks of Scapa Flow.
Orkney is so user-friendly. It's a small place, compact, packed to the gunwales with history; so much that with sea level rise its, Plimsoll line is in peril of disappearing beneath the waves. Getting about is quick and easy; all that and it has a village named Twatt.
Not many if any places to see a pair of SD35's running now days in the US, here GLC 383 and 384 work the interchange with the Ann Arbor RR at Osmer siding just north of Ann Arbor, Michigan. Nice compact packages these SD35's seen from above, if only EMD had cataloged an SD30, that would have been a pretty swell looking unit - August 23, 2024.
The news of the passing of the Dutch engineer who invented the audio Compact Cassette, Lou Ottens, got me to thinking how useful and handy these were back in the day and efficient - even a provision to prevent accidental ereasure. The quality of the audio wasn't up there with reel-to-reel, but they paved they way for portable music. Even after portable compact disc (which Mr. Ottens was involved in the development of) players came out, portable cassette players were the best way to go - easier to fit into a pocket and slower battery drain - though it took many years to get the player down to the size of the cassette itself. Until at least MP3 players came out, which like everything else digital revolutionized everything.
My first pass at the building was only three stories, then I added an additional three. If I had to fit the building in a more compact space or if looked out of place in a layout, I could go back to three.

Compact is a neat little studs up font. Basic, but gets the job done. Perfect for signing mosaics.

This 1 3/8 inch figure is the DC Comics character The Flash as seen in the game HeroClix. The red and yellow streaks behind him are actually tissue paper.
I believe this is the first toy photo I've posted to Flickr that was lit by my camera's flash. I typically use lamps, flashlights, LEDs, etc.
This image is straight out of the camera: no tweaking, no color processing, no cropping, no nothing.
Submitted to the Flickr group 7 Days of Shooting.
I will be using this camera in week 325 of my 52 film cameras in 52 weeks project:

Agfa Optima Sensor electronic
A series of cute, very compact viewfinder cameras Agfa launched in 1976. It replaced the former Optima Sensor series (Optima 200 Sensor etc.) and inherited from it the popular red shutter button and the unique film rewind system, where the advance lever is used for rewinding the film aswell. A prominent feature is the huge viewfinder, which claims a fair part of the camera body. Agfa released 6 models, but the last model, without a special name, is a copy of the 535. The difference is, that it was made in Portugal and not in Germany.
The models are called 335, 535, 1035, 1535 and flash, plus the nameless one from Portugal.
Some features they have in common and not already mentioned:
* programmed automatic exposure, Paratronic shutter
* a lens with 40 mm focal length, nearest focus distance is 0.9 m
* zone focusing, except the model with rangefinder. Exact distance scale under the lens.
* hot shoe and selectable f-stop for flash operation, except the model with built-in flash
* underexposure warning, a red LED in the viewfinder
* exposed film is wound into a lightproof container
* cable release socket, tripod bush
* rotating pattern for film advance check
* film speed 25 to 500 ISO
* filter thread 49 mm
* three batteries PX625 are required (except flash model), battery compartment is in the film chamber
The 335 was introduced in 1978 and was the model at the lower end. It has the slowest lens, the single-coated three-element 3.5/40 Agnatar (the instruction manual says that it has 4 elements, but usually the 3-element lenses of Agfa are called Agnar), shutter speeds from 1/30 to 1/300.
The 535 (1976) was slightly advanced. With the single-coated four-element 2.8/40 Solitar it has a better lens, and it has a 1/500 as top speed.
The 1035, also from 1976, has the same lens but multi-coated (Solitar S), the range of shutter speeds increased from 15 s to 1/1000 s. The symbols for zone focusing are also displayed in the viewfinder, additionally there is a green LED for the shutter speeds from 1/30 s or faster. It is the only model which sports a self-timer, amazinlgy it's a mechanical one, at least it has a red LED for countdown.
The 1535 from 1979 has the same lens and the same shutter speeds like the 1035. Instead the symbols for the focus distance in the viewfinder it has a true rangefinder, which makes the viewer a bit dimmer, so some photographers prefer the 1035 over it.
The flash-model is technically a 535 with a folding flash light, and its design looks rather improvised. Some changes had to be made: a battery compartment on the left side for 2 AAA 1.5 V micro cells. The film advance lever needed a new shape, also the cable release socket found a new place. The focus ring moved forward and doubles now as small lens hood. Due to the fact that the aperture ring was dropped I assume that the flash works in flashmatic mode: the setting of the aperture is coupled with the focus distance. It is the only model with strap lugs.
I have also an early model of the 535 in my collection, which reveals that some changes were made: the stability of the tripod socket was improved and the aperture ring got a small grasp. The early pattern on the film advance check was red/black.
The best words to describe HK's cityscape.
Recently fall in love with the skyscrapers and cityscape, I spent few weekends on wandering around Central to Wan Chai. Look up and look for sth fun!! :)
New constructions for the wall - Compact St Jude's Dungeness - Wood, nails, 13 years of gloss paint, lichen, stabilizer and varnish
If there’s one company in Australia with heaps of dino compactors, that company will be Suez, or SITA as I wish they were still known. Maybe in the past the company had more dino work on a national scale, but the high majority is now subject to their Sydney operations, with most of their bulk bin trucks indeed dino roll-offs. I’m sure the company has a good couple hundred open top containers, compactor containers and integrated units in Sydney, a lot of which appear to be young or freshened up. However, a few years ago I came across one of their older pieces of equipment outside their Wetherill Park transfer station, just sitting on the road unattended while its transporter was somewhere else. I love seeing a compactor just sitting on the road out from a dock, especially at night in the Sydney CBD haha It’s not often you would find a compactor of this capacity being used for garbage, so I think it’s safe to say this is a dry waste container or more likely one for paper and cardboard. You can tell this one is an oldie, with very faded paint and signage, plenty of scratches and a decent amount of rust. You can see the front of the container has been punched inwards... a result of the many times this steel box has been pushed into its resting position by the bail hook and frame. I reckon the “No Parking Day Or Night” signs should feature an additional “Offending Vehicles Will Be Towed” - not hard to do with the truck!
