My photo walk of July 13, 2023, Lyon, France with my FOCA Universel "R", a French range-finder 35mm camera of the 50's fitted here with the Oplar wide-angle lens 1:3.5 f=3.5cm.
My leading idea was to test the black-and-white Adox film CHS 100 II. Adox is one of the oldest photographic products brand in Germany since 1860. Adox CHS 100 II is a very technical film composed of a mix of two emulsions, one ortho and another panchromatic. The resulting sensitivity profile is then bit particular with a drop around 500 nm between blue and green colors. The emulsion is coated on a clear 100 micron polyester teraphtalate (PET) base with two different anti-halation layer, a black one on the film back and a violet one between the PET base and the emulsion mix. This anti-halation are removed par two pre-soaking water bathes of 2min at the temperature of the processing (20°C).
For the whole film the Oplar lens was equipped with a 42mm push-on Foca DYMA filter which was an exclusive filter produced by the French company Optique & Précision de Levallois. Its amber color is in fact resulting of a complex absorption spectrum with several minima in the visible domain due to the use of neodymium in the filter glass. The blue sky is attenuated and yellow tone are nicely separated.
It exposed the 100 ISO film for 32 ISO to compensate the recommended DYMA filter absorption (coefficient. x3.5) using an Autometer III Minolta light meter fitted with a 10° finder for selective measurements privileging the shadow areas. The Oplar 35mm lens was equipped with Minolta D42KA cylindrical shade hood.
Since the Foca Universel R has a finder covering the field only of a normal 50mm lens, framing was achieved using the external Foca multi-focal finder that includes miniature lenses on a rotating touret corresponding the 35, 50, 90 and 135 mm fields.
Focusing was done using the body coupled range-finder that is the characteristic of the "Universel" Foca camera's that couple the range finder to any available OPL Foca lenses with the bayonet mount.
Shutter speeds from 1/100s to 1/40s and f/4 to f/8 were used along the session between 2pm and 4PM and a very bright sunlight.

After exposure, the film was revealed using Adox Adonal (Agfa Rodinal) developper at dilution 1+50 and 20°C for 13 min. The film was then digitalized 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 :
The Foca Universel "R" is the late series (circa 1956-1962) of the Foca Universel 35mm range-finder camera appeared in 1950 and produced until 1956. The Universel model of FOCa was fitted with a bayonet mount instead of the 36mm screw mount of other Foca PF (PF standing for "Petit Format"). Foca camera's were constructed in France by the company "Optique & Precision de Levallois" (OPL) in the OPL factory of Chateaudun (Eure) starting from 1947. This factory still exists under the name of SAFRAN a French company producing aerospace devices and systems. This exemplary of Foca Universel R was likely manufactured in 1959 or 1960.
The camera is normally equipped with the collapsible OPLAREX lens 1:1.9 f=5cm with the OPL bayonet mount and here with an OPLAR 1:3.5 f=3.5cm wide-angle lens.
And the Day 1 Precision Finals of the 2019 U.S. Army Junior Rifle Championships are a wrap with Macy Way taking the Gold, Mackenzie Miller with the Silver and Scott Rockett with the Bronze. The annual, invitation-only event brings more than 150 of the top junior marksmen to Fort Benning, Georgia to vie for top honors. Many of these juniors go on to shoot for colleges, military services and even the Olympics. This truly talented bunch of young athletes are something to watch!

Ten years ago. I drove RM9 to the Finsbury Park event. These were almost the last film photos I took. Some are taken on a digital small camera I was toying with. Now I use the EOS5d II . . . anyway heres a reminder and a foretaste of June this year... RM60
yes, jo got a macbook (2.0!), and yes, i'm very jealous. can you tell by the way i'm fawning over the it's packaging?

Prescott Fairfield seen here removing the dents in the left cowl of my 2013 Vespa GTS 300
I'm totally happy with the job he did removing the dents in my scooter...the dents wet the result of Helen playing ketch with our Rottweiler puppy...she was throwing a brush head, and it mistakenly hit the scooter
A peep on Modern Vespa suggested I call a local who does dent removal. I had no idea there was tradesmen doing this type of work, but sure enough, Prescott came through and made it look like it never happened. Thanks Prescott!
