A third film with my newly-arrived FOCA Universel "R", a French range-finder 35mm camera of the 50's along a photo walk at Parc de la Tête d'Or, on April 20, 2023, Lyon, France.
The camera was loaded with an Rollei Superpan 200 (Agfa Aviphot 200) 36-exposure film. It was exposed for 200 ISO using an Autometer III Minolta lightmeter fitted with a 10° finder for selective measurements privileging the shadow areas. The Oplarex lens was equipped with a Foca AUV push-on 42mm protective filter and a generic cylindrical shade hood.
Rollei Superpan 200 (i.e. Agfa Aviphot 200) is a super-panchromatic film coated on a thin polyester teraphtalate (PET) base with a water-soluble black anti-halation coat on the back that should be removed by two or three presoaking bathes before developing. The film sensitivity is extended to the near infrared to 780 nm. The film is known to gives excellent results to reduce the atmospheric blur and offer a spectacular resolution and contrasts.

After exposure, the film was revealed using Adox Adonal (Agfa Rodinal) developper at dilution 1+25 and 20°C for 8 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 accompanied by some documentary smartphone Vivio Y76 color pictures.
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 equipped with the collapsible OPLAREX lens 1:1.9 f=5cm with the OPL bayonet mount.
Being extremely silly testing my ability to precisely toss and spin my camera. The object of the experiment was to match the spin of the ceiling fan blades so that they appear non moving while everything else moves.
