"Film d'essai" (test film) of my Foca Standard year 1960.
The camera was loaded with a 36-exposure Fomapan Action 400 film exposed for 250 ISO (that appears to be the nominal sensitivity from published technical data). The expositions were determined using a Minolta Autometer III fitted with a 10° finder for selective measurement privileging the shadow areas.
The camera was equipped with its regular Oplar lens 1:3.5 f=3,5cm and a 1A 36mm push-on filter. The diaphragm value of f/8 was used for the whole film. For some views, distances were checked using a Magnusson laser range-finder.

After completion the film was processed with Adox Adonal (= Agfa Rodinal) developper at dilution 1+25 for 6min at 20°C.
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 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:
French 35 mm camera Foca model "Standard" manufactured in the OPL (Optique & Précision de Levallois ) factory of Chateaudun, Eure, France, year 1959-1960.
This is the entry model of PF ("Petit Format") OPL Foca camera's with 36 mm screw mount lens. The camera was the evolution and the former Foca PF1 (1 star) with the possibility to interchange lenses with the 36mm OPL screw mount. The regular lens delivered with the Foca Standard was the Oplar 1:3.5 f=3,5 cm, a wide-angle (non retrofocus) lens more easy to use for zone focusing. The PF, as the Standard, had no range finder and was equipped by default with an integrated finder matching the field of the 35 mm lens. The focal shutter is also limited in the range 1/25 to 1/500s . The Foca Standard was a very reliable and endurant camera that was preferred for intensive uses for industry or by the "photo-filmeurs" in the 50 and early 60's.
This specific camera was first purchased in Nîmes, Gard, France, on August 12, 1960 in FOTOCINE shop, rue de la République. The warranty ticket was still conserved in the ever-ready leather bag with the camera. I found a Fuji HR100 negative color film inside exposed to the view 30 or 31.
The camera is not in good condition concerning the shutter curtains that are cracking in the polymer face causing light porosity. The command of the diaphragm is also a bit problematic. By means (that I should not describe) I restored the curtains enough for a test film. I used a Fomapan Action 400 film exposed for 250 ISO. The film was developed in Adox Adonal 1+25 for 6min at 20°C.
During the test session I also used a new laser range finder to determine some object distances. The results indicate that further works are necessary to make the curtains light-tight (the best would be to change them for new ones) and find better spring settings for correct curtains travels at 1/100 and 1/50s.

On your last day of the food side you get breaded...using the standard breading procedure. This photo is an interesting take on the method since the guy was saran-wrapped to a post in order to keep him from escaping. Mmmmm...Panko down your shirt.
