Inner Peace, something many of us are striving for.
..."If only you would pay attention to my commandments!
Then your PEACE would become just like a RIVER
And your righteousness like the waves of the sea."
- Isaiah 48:18
My husband and I found this beautiful and peaceful spot on our way to Friends Lake Inn in Chestertown, NY. What a great area to visit and the Inn was fabulous!!!!
This is the test film of my French FOCA lens OPLAR 1:3.5 f=9cm for the FOCA camera's "PF" ≈ (French : "Petit Format", PF1, PF2, and PF3) with he 36mm screw mount. The test was done in Lyon, France, along the Saône river banks and the district of Ainay, on December 11, 2023 by a quite humid and cloudy weather with about 13°C.
For the test, I mounted the lens to one of my FOCA PF2B range-finder camera bodies (the "PHOTO-BANGARD" one, see below for details). The lens was equipped with a FOCA AUV 42mm push-on filter plus generic cylindrical shade hood. The camera was loaded with a film Rollei Retro 400S (former aerial Agfa Aviphot 400) a super-panchromatic black-and-white film sensitized to 760nm in the near infra-red. The emulsion is coated on a clear PET film leading usually to high-contrast negative views. The film is quite adapted to low-light or misty weather. Exposures were determined using an Minolta Autometer III Minolta light meter fitted with a 10° finder for selective measurements privileging the shadow areas. The views were done at 1/200s or 1/100s from the full aperture 1:3.5 to 5.6.

After completion, the film was revealed using Adox Adonal developper at dilution 1+25at 20°C for 10min30 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

About the camera :
According to the serial number this FOCA 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 in its original box with the serial number hand written on the right side of the box. on the inner side of the camera back a sticker indicates the original seller : "PHOTO BANGARD", 29, Quai du Fossé, Mulhouse, France,
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 was originally 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.

About the OPLAR 1:3.5 f= 9cm long-focal lens :
This long-focal lens is practically pristine either mechanically and optically. The French company O.P.L. ("Optique & Precision de Levallois") designed this lens for its FOCA camera's that first appeared in 1949 (version-1), and manufactured the lens in its factory of Châteaudun, Eure, France.
The serial number identifies a late model-5 version-6 (#115.000 ± 116.100) produced from 1959 to 1962 at the end of the 36mm-mount FOCA camera's. The optical formula improved from version-5 with 3 elements in 3 groups instead of 4 elements previously.

The Inner Harbor is a historic seaport, tourist attraction, and iconic landmark of the City of Baltimore, Maryland. The harbor itself is actually the end of the Northwest Branch of the Patapsco River and includes any water west of a line drawn between the National Aquarium in Baltimore and the Rusty Scupper restaurant. The term "Inner Harbor" is used not just for the water but for the surrounding area of the city, with approximate street boundaries of President Street, Lombard Sreet, Light Sreet, and Key Highway. The harbor is within walking distance of Oriole Park at Camden Yards and M&T Bank Stadium and has a water taxi that connects the Inner Harbor to Fells Point, Canton, and Fort McHenry.

I have noticed that I have been taking more and more shots of the inner parts of flowers and realized that it was a good analogy of how I think of myself. Sometimes the outer beauty is not so evident and the inner beauty is all there is. So in the case of the flowers in this set, some are beautiful both inside and out and others are only beautiful when closely examined down to the center of the flower itself.
