[It took a while getting there, but this was my 31st in Explore. Peaked at #32.]
Polaroid Colorpack 80 in rigid moulded black plastic. Despite the American spelling, this was made in the UK for international markets from 1971-76. Serial number on this example is KK3221A.
As the name suggests, this instant camera takes Type 80 peel-apart pack films, but unlike my Super Swinger, it shoots colour as well as black and white, so will accept Viva film (which can be still be found on specialist websites).
Focussing ranges from 3 to 50+ feet, controlled by twisting the lens (very stiff on my example) but the sweet spot is at 5 feet. Flashcubes with a range of 4-10 feet, such as the Phillips PFC4, can be used.
ISO is switchable from 75 (colour) to 3000 (black and white). Shutter requires 2xAA batteries to open. Polaroid’s trademarked Cold-Clip 195X slots into the back of the camera. On this particular model, it contains instructions for use in English, German and Japanese, although it was manufactured in the Netherlands. More details in comments.
I paid £3.74 (inc. P&P) on eBay.

KIRON 80-200mm 1/4.5 ZoomLock

Kino Precision Kiron 80-200mm 1/4.5 zoom with Zoom Lock feature. Pentax K-M mount.
Cult classic. Got it off EBay basically free as an add-on to Tamron 80-210mm, it was mentioned in description as "Kiron lens"; and a fuzzy picture. Turned out to be in almost impecable state, with a typical grime accumulation on inner elements. Grime cleaned off just fine, yielding a nice little zoom. It is surprisingly pleasant to handle, small and light, yet with a solid feel.
