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.

Latest project on the bench and a slight departure from my usual items. A 2003 Squier Standard Special in black sparkle finish. These were the forerunners of the current classic vibe range of bass guitars. Excellent build quality and all original. Sounds good too. Fully cleaned, restored and setup it plays beautifully.
