Slides my mom had which I have cheater-digitized; I shot the slides with my dslr while they were on the slide viewer. I don't know where this was taken, and the year is probably about 1965, 67 or 68.
I have good reason to believe now that this was taken at Red River Ski Resort in New Mexico.

This is my first experience with the new Ferrania film P33 now available for the consumer. I used my Ihagee Dresden Exakta Varex IIa (circa 1957), for a series at "Cité Tony Garnier", Lyon, France, on March 14, 2024.
The film is a new production from Italy and the resurgence of Ferrania films. The camera was loaded using a take-up 135 cartridge. The film leader was tapped on the spool and installed in the magazine recycled from a Svema film using reusable cartridge. I found the lips of the cartridge of the Ferrania P33 film very tight and the film was a bit difficult to advance at the beginning. The next time I will carefully liberate a bit the lips just using a fingernail.
The camera was equipped with the Carl Zeiss Jena Biotar 1:2 f=58mm holding a B+W protective filter plus a modern metal 52mm screw-on shade hood. Expositions were determined as recommended by Ferrania for 160 ISO using an Autometer III Minolta light meter fitted with a 10° finder for selective measurements privileging the shadow areas.
Shutter speeds from 1/250s to 1/100s were used with aperture to f/5.6 to f/16.

After exposure, the film was revealed using Adox Adonal (Agfa Rodinal) developper at dilution 1+25 and 20°C for 5 min as indicated in the technical Ferrania sheet. The film was then digitized using a Sony A7 body fitted to a Minolta Slide Duplicator installed on a Minolta Auto Bellows III with a lens Minolta Bellow Macro Rokkor 50mm f/3.5. The RAW files obtained were processed without intermediate files in LR and edited to the final jpeg pictures.
About the "Cité Tony Garnier", Lyon, France, and the outdoor urban museum (www.museeurbaintonygarnier.com)
Usually, the paintings are inside museums but at the Tony Garnier Urban Museum, they are outside:
25 murals of 230 m² painted on building gables, including ten sketches of the young architect Tony Garnier outlining his vision of the ideal future city, and painted walls from the 5 continents created by artists from Egypt, India, Mexico, Ivory Coast, Russia and the USA.
This Tony Garnier museum “in the open air” and in the middle of the city is a fascinating walk. The district itself takes part in the visit since it was the first approach to the “ideal city” dreamed of, theorized and detailed by the urban architect Tony Garnier (winner of the Prix de Rome, he stayed at the Villa Medici between 1899 and 1904).
It is this ideal city and its other world views that are the objects of visit through these 25 astonishing works of the year 1920 to 1930.
About the camera and the lens :
The camera arrived from Berlin, Zehlendorf to Lyon, France, on February 7, 2024, It indeed a "wunderbar" Ihagee Exakta Varex IIa, year 1957, with its normal lens Carl Zeiss Jena Biotar 1:2 f=58mm "Q1" (First Quality).
The camera was offered by the vendor to his father who was a former development engineer at Ihagee company, Dresden, Germany. During all his career he could even not imagine in DDR to buy such wonderful and expensive camera almost all exported abroad. He carefully restored and maintained the camera to he factory standards.
The Exakta Varex was, for a time in the fifties, before the Nikon F, a trusted system 35m SLR camera that was successfully used in professional, technical and scientific appliances. The Varex followed the Kine Exakta started before WWII in the 30's. The Varex IIa (1956-1959) is tough to be the series of best quality. Exakta stopped the production in 1970 with the ultimate VX1000 but several further camera's were after sold out under the name of Exakta as the Exakta RTL1000 for instance.

A color film during a photo walk in Lyon Fourvière and Saint-Irénée (the antic Lugdunum) with my new FOCA camera model-4 (year 1955).
The camera was loaded with a French Washi-X 36-exposure film (likely a batch of Kodak Aerocolor III) . The film was exposed for 100 ISO using an Autometer III Minolta light meter fitted with a 10° finder. The OPLAR normal lens 2./5cm was also equipped with a a generic cylindrical shade hood and a FOCA AUV 42mm push-on filter.

After exposure, the film was processed by a local lab service using the C-41 process The film was then digitized using a Sony A7 body fitted to a Minolta Slide Duplicator installed on a Minolta Auto Bellows III with a lens Minolta Bellow Macro Rokkor 50mm f/3.5. The RAW files obtained were processed without intermediate files in LR and edited to the final jpeg pictures.
All views of the film are presented in the dedicated album either in the printed framed versions and unframed full-size jpeg

This FOCA camera is in an exceptional state of conservation and looks exited from a sort of time capsule since 70 years!
I was not so very optimistic about the real state of this camera because of the scars description of the seller, but I finally won the bid for tiny price on September 26, 2023 and the camera arrived to me a few days later.
According to the serial number this PF2B should be a model-4 from year 1955 (model-4 spans the years1954-1957). The shutter is a type-3 that equipped the version 16 to 17 in 1956. Curiously, the camera has also the type-6 rewind large button only appeared in 1957 on the model-5 of PF2B's. Maybe a latter upgrade required by the customer or prosed by the after-market service?
The camera was kept clearly in original box with the serial number hand written on the right side. The OPLAR normal lens 1:2.8 f=5cm is a model-3 version-4 from 1955 with the "ECD/9" diaphragm graduation 2.8...3.5...9....18.
In the box Botton was the user manual, a Kodachrome brochure in French and several cashier ticket from the seller "PHOTO BANGARD", 29, Quai du Fossé, Mulhouse, France, also identified in the inner side of the camera back with a sticker.The cashier ticket are probably to related to the camera since the amounts in French Francs does not correspond to any price list of that time.
In addition the camera has a leather ever-ready bag in excellent condition. When I first detailed the camera, I soon appeared that it almost pristine with very little sign of use. All functions works flawlessly and the shutter curtains are as new. The view finder and range finder are very clear and contrasted as the day 1. The lens is also very nice with the coating in quite good condition.
The camera was so nice and easy to clean that I could test it with a film the day after the receipt.
About the FOCA PF2B camera's and the normal lens OPLAR:
The Foca type PF2B (PF for "Petit Format") was constructed in France by the company "Optique & Precision de Levallois" (OPL) starting from 1947. It was manufactured in the Chateaudun OPL factory, route de Jallans, France. The factory, constructed in 1938, is still at the same place under the name of SAFRAN now producing precision devices for aerospace appliances.
The camera is equipped with the collapsible 36mm screw-mount OPLAR lens (a modified Tessar formula with an additional fifth rear element) 1:2.8 f=5cm. The focal shutter of the PF2B has timing of 1/1000, 1/500, 1/200, 1/100, 1/50 and 1/25s plus the B pose. A slow exposure device below 1/25s could be installed by the aftermarket service and was installed basically for the FOCA PF3 type.
The tree is gone, and the road is narrower today. And of course, not the slightest idea of The Spire.
