A V-22 Osprey unfolds it's rotors as the crew preps the aircraft for departure from the California International Air Show.
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.
Why cant these camera manufacturer's produce a Owners Manual that not only names the buttons, levers & dials but actually tells you what each of them does and why you would want to use them in the first place, some of us are NOT techies or Rocket Scientists.

This was the Agfa of salvation, the one that would keep the brand afloat as a camera maker. Presented in 1980, it was the stubborn Germanic answer to the Japanese tsunami that killed the German camera industry in the 60’s and 70’s. This was a moment of hope for AGFA, a return with a very interesting camera, where the attention to the design was surprising. The styling is very pleasant, a very small and original shape created by Schlagheck design of Munich. It faithfully follows the Bauhaus credo, from follows function, but the result here is an original and pretty camera. The master stroke is the sliding On/Off switch that covers the camera’s viewfinder. Slide it and the camera comes alive, the lens cover opens and the Solinar pops out, very neat. All this done electrically, something that would become the norm up to the present days. The lens was brand new, but it was another variation of the old Solinar, AGFA’s version of the Tessar. Here we have a rather surprising 39 mm /2.8 lens. I believe it to be a 40 mm lens, they chose the 39 mm to clearly send the message that this lens wasn’t the old Solitar 40/ 2.8 of the Optimas of old. The big splash was the electric motor responsible for popping out the lens and wind the film at a speedy 2fps. This looked like a cracking little camera destined for fame and success. Sadly, it was not to be.
It is easier to find a person born in the 19th century and breathing than to find an Agfa Compact in working condition. This lack of reliability eventually killed the camera and AGFA as camera maker in 1983. It seems underdeveloped, that scale focusing is out of pace with the rest of the camera, as is the viewfinder devoid of any sort of info, just a red lamp for flash turn on. While the manually wound previous Optima series had an automatic loading of the film, with this one you get a motor but you have to put the film tip in the reel’s slot. The flash is just like the Olympus XA, Canon MC or Minolta AF-C, a separate unit that connects to the left side of the camera. There is provision for a cable release, but oddly no self-timer. The electric motor emits a noise as If all the gears were about to break when the camera is switched on. Film winding is not exactly silent either, but not remotely comparable to the Canon ML
The camera’s Bauhaus design might be impressive, beautiful, functional, daring, but the Konica C35 AF already existed and had what people really needed, autofocus, integrated flash. No electric motor, a very dull design, but a coherent concept. Still, this little AGFA is very engaging, but I am not very sure that it works well, fingers crossed for the Tmax 100!
I will be using this camera in week 325 of my 52 film cameras in 52 weeks project:

This is the 50mm f3.5 macro lens for the Mamiya NC1000 and NC1000s cameras. Quite a rare lens, though becuase it only fits 1 camera (well two very similar cameras to be precise) it is not in high demend, which means it isn't worth very much despite being rare. I only had to pay about 40 quid on eBay for this example.
It is a nice and compact little lens to match the compact dimensions of the NC1000 camera.

The Canon RF 70-200mm F2.8L IS USM is a compact, pro-grade telephoto zoom for Canon's full frame mirrorless (R) cameras. Canon has completely reimagined this zoom range for the first time, and there are pros and cons to that change. One one hand, the lens is compact, much lighter, has great autofocus, and can produce beautiful images. On the other, it cannot be used with teleconverters, isn't really an optical improvement, and and costs significantly more. For a full rundown on how those two realities collide in the RF 702-00L, check out my review coverage here:

Mercado Municipal y Polideportivo Barceló y Biblioteca Pública Municipal Mario Vargas Llosa
Calle Barceló 4-6, c/v a MejÃa Lequerica 9 y a Beneficencia 7-9 Madrid,
Nieto Sobejano Arquitectos: Fuensanta Nieto y Enrique Sobejano. Proyecto Concurso: 2007. Arquitecto de proyecto: Alfredo Baladrón, Alexandra Sobral. Coordinación de proyecto: Patricia Grande. 2008
Dirección de obra: Nieto Sobejano Arquitectos. Construcción: 2009–14
La intervención realizada sobre el área del Mercado Barceló comprende espacios públicos, edificios e instalaciones temporales que forman parte de un mismo conjunto. Los autores comentan acerca del proyecto:
Su denominación múltiple -mercado/polideportivo/biblioteca- anuncia ya un protagonismo colectivo y revela la condición social del programa: un mercado compacto sobre el que se eleva un pabellón deportivo enmarcando la ciudad y frente al que se ubica una biblioteca volada por encima del patio de un colegio. Se asume asà la coexistencia de tres concepciones simultáneas (contenedor, marco, puente) que responden a distintas variantes estructurales (pórtico, voladizo, viga) y generan a su vez diferentes espacios cÃvicos alrededor: una calle cubierta, una plaza longitudinal, una terraza elevada. En esta matriz combinatoria, equilibrio de necesidades funcionales, sistemas estructurales y espacios urbanos, radica la condición densa e hÃbrida que caracteriza la actuación. En el lÃmite entre el centro antiguo de Madrid y su posterior ensanche, rodeado de edificaciones históricas y construcciones contemporáneas, calles estrechas, plazas y ensanchamientos, el mercado -cuyo interior no se ha construido respetando el proyecto original de los autores- se expresa como un cuerpo autónomo, situado en la confluencia de las calles MejÃa Lequerica y Beneficencia a las que se abre en sus distintas fachadas. Separado por una estrecha una calle-galerÃa interior de acusada proporción vertical, el pabellón polideportivo se asoma en voladizo por encima del mercado, cuya cubierta es en realidad una gran terraza pública elevada desde la que se divisan los tejados de Madrid. La biblioteca, situada al otro lado de una nueva plaza longitudinal, sobrevuela el patio del colegio al que se adosa para formar un conjunto relacionado formalmente con los otros edificios. La definición geométrica y la expresión material de sus cerramientos anuncian que -pese a sus diferentes usos- las nuevas edificaciones pertenecen a un mismo tiempo y lugar. Una piel formada por piezas de vidrio moldeado de grandes dimensiones -blanco y opalino- unifica su apariencia exterior transmitiendo ligereza y unidad al conjunto.
Mercado: El eje del nuevo mercado es una elevada galerÃa cubierta de gran de altura, donde esbeltas escaleras mecánicas suben y bajan hacia la terraza y los comercios de las plantas superiores, invitando a los paseantes a atravesar el edificio desde la calle MejÃa Lequerica hacia la nueva plaza posterior. Grandes paños de vidrio dejan ver los puestos de mercado que se disponen en bandas paralelas de amplias calles interiores. Tanto si se entra al mercado desde la calle como si se hace desde la plaza, un vacÃo vertical hace percibir al usuario la dimensión espacial en las tres plantas que abarca el local. Un conjunto de escaleras paralelas a la galerÃa conecta los diferentes niveles, mientras que un núcleo compacto de montacargas, ascensores y aseos comunica las plantas en toda su altura, incluso hasta los sótanos de almacenes, carga/descarga y aparcamiento. El cerramiento exterior está formado por piezas lineales de vidrio moldeado blanco en U, de 50 cm de anchura, formando una piel continua opalina que envuelve todos los edificios del conjunto.
Polideportivo: El nuevo polideportivo está situado sobre los tejados de Madrid. La cubierta del mercado es en realidad una gran plaza de 1500 m2 en la que los niños juegan, los jóvenes hacen deporte, los mayores toman el sol, o simplemente se asoman a observar el perfil de la ciudad. Un núcleo de comunicación independiente y una larga rampa mecánica han permitido llegar directamente a este nivel, donde también se ubican vestuarios, aseos, control y acceso a la zona deportiva. Los escolares del colegio vecino acceden directamente desde el patio de la escuela por medio de una conexión subterránea. Un café acristalado queda bajo una gran losa sobre la que se sitúa el pabellón cubierto. El núcleo de comunicaciones llega hasta el último nivel dividiendo el espacio en dos áreas: las salas de gimnasia hacia la calle Barceló y el pabellón polideportivo propiamente dicho, abierto a través de un gigantesco ventanal de 32 metros de longitud hacia las azoteas de la ciudad.
Biblioteca: La biblioteca configura en su volumen lineal una nueva manzana con el colegio existente al que complementa. Concebida como un edificio-puente, libera el espacio inferior para ampliar el patio de juegos del colegio, apoyándose en dos cuerpos que albergan los núcleos de comunicación, acceso y servicios. De este modo, las dos plantas superiores longitudinales permiten la ubicación de los espacios de lectura y reunión del programa, con distintas configuraciones posibles. Comparte materiales de cerramiento con el mercado y polideportivo, admitiendo de este modo la presencia de una luz natural tamizada en las áreas interiores de lectura.
