Show Your Scale Focus Beauties!

I wish my XA4 didn't kick the bucket on my trip earlier in the year, it got stuck in self-timer mode mid trip, so I had to finish the last 15 shots or so shooting in that mode. I really preferred it over the XA2 from the lens and extra focusing points.

The 28mm lens on the XA 4 is a big plus, nice and wide on a compact body.
 
Here is my Retina 1a. Arrived in college Sept. 1967. My first “real” camera! Serviced by Chris Sherlock in June of ‘16. I enjoy taking it out for a “sunny 16” day of photography!!
 
Leica I (C) by Neal Wellons, on Flickr
Interchangeable lens variation of the Leica I. This camera is from 1931. It looks like the paint was removed long ago. Elmar 50mm f/3.5 lens.

Bilora Radix 35mm 24 X 24 Camera by Neal Wellons, on Flickr
35mm 24 X 24 format camera uses Agfa Karat cassettes, 1/50 shutter speed with Biloxar 38mm f/5.6 lens. F/stops to f/16 and three marked focus points. Models were made in West Germany from 1948 - 1952.
 
Here's my Altissa Altix III (as far as I know, I suppose it could be a "II" but the info I've seen is vague on any differences). I wish it had a take-up spool that had the flap so I don't have to sellotape the film to it. (There is a zeiss Ikon camera that also gives 24mm x 24mm negs, I wish I could try a take -up spool from one of those.) Gives 35mm film giving 24mm x 24mm negatives. Below it it is my Petri "Compact" (otherwise labelled as the "Junior" or "Half". The lever you can see is the film wind trigger. 35mm giving 18mm x 24mm vertical negatives.
