An Ilford HP5+ film with my Foca PF2B (year 1956) in Lyon, France.
The film was exposed for 400 ISO using a Minolta Autometer III with a 10° finder for selective measurements privileging the shadow areas. The lens was fitted with a FOCA AUV filter and a Genaco metal shade hood.

After exposure, the film was processed using Tetenal Ultrafin liquid developer at dilution 1+20, 20°C and 16min.
The film was then digitalized using a Sony A7 body adapted to a Minolta Auto Bellows III and a Minolta Slide Duplicator using a lens Minolta Bellow Macro Rokkor 50mm f/3.5 at a reproduction ratio of 1:1. The reproduced RAW files obtained were processed in LR prior the the final JPEG editions.
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 and the lens:
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, in 1956 among a late series of the PF2B. 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 OPLAR lens (a Tessar formula) 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 in series for the FOCA PF3 type.

Funny how easy-going physicists are about certain assembly instructions. They just jot them down on the side of components with pencil. I snapped this one at a facility called LINAC4 (Linear Accelerator 4). Since this was the third site on the CERN tour, right after a copious lunch, I found myself pretty blank in the maze of pipes, gauges, cables, computers and whatever-else-you-can-think-of. I assembled the image above from two separate shots, since the pencil drawing was a bit further along the plate.
One other interesting thing: I have never ever seen a desk with the following line-up of objects on it: computer, plant and vise.
These two marine chronometers are by Parkinson and Frodsham, London. The one on the the left is older and is in pristine condition. The one on the right has been subjected to water damage and has been ruined by attempts to de-rust it, and by sub-standard repairs. It is not considered repairable.
My Fender P Bass. The P stands for precision. It's hard to get a better bass tone than this. You plug it in, it sounds great. Incidentally, that's one reason playing the bass is so great.

1964 Fender Precision Bass. Original Sunburst finish. Rosewood fingerboard & C profile neck. Weight: 8.2 lbs. Serial: L33056. All original other than some touched up solder. original case (cosmetically the exterior of the case has seen better days but the latches & handle still work, the interior is still in good condition) This bass plays and sounds awesome. The tone is rich, warm and round which you can only get from these early Fenders. The body shows some wear around the edges & a few nicks and dings but nothing major. The neck is very slim & smooth with some of the finish having worn off. This can all be seen in the pics. The frets have very little play wear. All hardware & electronics work with no issues including the truss rod. The headstock is very clean. Set up nice and low with a great action by my technician. The pots date the 26th week of 64, the neck date is 5th July 64 C.

Charles Sheeler is one of the most prolific and best known of the artists associated with Precisionism. Over a career spanning almost 60 years, Sheeler created numerous series documenting the industrial achievements of the United States. For his Power series—shown here—Sheeler traveled across the country studying the nation’s “instruments of power.” These works capture the ambitious achievements of the period, including the harnessing of natural resources to generate electrical power, and the propulsion of a jet engine.

Developed custom made by Solaris, the Precision V.14 fires 4.55mm depleted uranium high-explosive electrostatic rounds. The depleted uranium shell contains a cyclotrimethylene-sulfuric aerosol binary liquid used to ensure high incendiary impact. An internal computerized system will automatically chamber a round, spraying it with a hypergolic explosive spray, then a sub-nucleonic micro-generator will ignite the round with over 65kW of energy.
A hyper-reactive cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine -ammonia liquid coating on the round will ensure even more increased muzzle pressure. Each round, carrying its own microscopic computer, can communicate wirelessly with the targeting scope even after launch, changing targets en route. There are many variable designs, including a micro-ramjet powered athodyd shell, high-explosive incendiary, 4.55mm rifle mortar shell, high-explosive automatic piercing and hypermagnetic supercharged incendiaries. Ammunition feed is from a 35-round bond-cast magazine.
