My photowalk with my Semflex Standard 3.5, a French TLR camera year 1959, Lyon, France June 18, 2024.
The camera was equipped with a Semflex yellow filter x2 and the Semflex metal shade hood. An Ilford PanF+ 120 film was loaded and exposed for 32 ISO (Instead of 50 ISO to compensate in part the filter absorption) using a Minolta Autometer III equipped with a 10° finder for selective measures privileging the shadow areas.
Typically I used the 1/100s (one at 1/50s) with aperture ranging from f/8 to f/4.5.

After the view #12 exposed, the film was fully rolled to the taking spool and was developed in a Paterson tank with a spiral adapted to the 70mm large film. 500 mL of Adox Adonal (Agfa Rodinal) developer were prepared at the dilution 1+25 and the film processed for 6min at 20°C.
Digitizing was made using a Sony A7 camera (ILCE-7, 24MP) held on a Minolta vertical macro stative device and adapted to a Minolta MD Macro lens 1:3.5 f=50mm. The light source was a LED panel (approx. 4x5') CineStill Cine-lite fitted with film holder "Lobster" to maintain flat the 70mm films.
The RAW files obtained were inverted within LR and edited to the final jpeg pictures without intermediate file. They are presented either as printed files with frame or the full size JPEG.
About the camera and lenses :
New in my camera collection this French Semflex TLR year 1959-1960 equipped with f=75mm SOM Berthiot lenses.
The SEM company ("Société des Etablissements Modernes de Mécanique") was founded in France by Paul Royet in 1946, in the small city of Aurec near Saint-Etienne (Loire). The SEM camera's was known essentially for the TLR Semflex that were a great commercial success in France until the 70's. The camera's are constructed around an injected aluminum alloy chassis, very resistant and rigid permitting precise optical alignments. The focusing mechanism is made of a cam system like the Rolleiflex giving an accurate and smooth focusing. SEM constructed their own shutters called Orec with 5 leaves capable of the 1/400s to 1s with B.
Semflex received in majority French optics Berthiot with 3 or 4 lenses (Tessar type). Some camera's were also mounted with Angénieux lenses.
Semflex were trusted TLR camera's used by amateurs and for professional purposes. From 1949 to 1976, 171.000 Semflex were produced in many different types and versions.
My Semflex in a middle grade version Standard 3.5 type-10 (1959-1960). It was the last version mounted with the 3-lens SOM Berthiot 1:3.5 f=75mm. I got the camera with set of accessories and several documents including the user manual of the Semflex Standard 4.5 versions. The accessories include a leather SEM ever-ready bag, a Semflex push-on shade hood, a Semflex push-on yellow filter x2 in its original box, and close-focusing lenses. The 1D one is constructed with a prism for the finder lens that compensates the parallax in the zone 1m to 0.5m.
The decorative ring around each lenses can also receive push-on accessories in 36mm diameter as the FOCA or Leitz 36mm filter series. I adapted two protective lens caps from Kodak film canister snapped covers.

Solar Town and Village Planting Planning and Design Projects
A CO2 absorption strategy proposed by tree planting new solar town and village plans provides place and work for people displaced by global warming, pollution, etc. Full town and village area tree planting has maximum potential tree products as infrastructure patterns form on degraded land with close-planted interspersed tree species. Fast growth short-term yield trees, micro-climate protecting long-term slow growth trees, nitrogen fix soil, and provide food, fuel, and building material within a few years with adequate water. Water conservation works (small trenches, mounds) catch rain and seeds starting at watershed tops. Gully plugs and very small dams form circulation ways for people. Shaded walking and cycle paths, avenues, forest perma-culture parks with local sanitation systems, future building sites, urban and agriculture patterns are tree formed by a small hard working group. Trees can have good survival rates where people live (with water and compost material) caring for place with long term home commitment. From tree centers (nurseries, seed banks) outlying areas are planted-maintained. Solar buildings and technology includes modular durable structural frames for low energy in-fills beginning with 1-2 levels, and foundations for ‘growing’ taller with the trees, with top solar collectors. Solar village houses have thru-mirror-wall greenhouse type oven kitchens. Environmental regeneration and town and village patterns formed with modest investment can help mitigate global warming.

Greater power & endurance Available in 300g
Supplementing with creatine has been shown to be a safe and effective way for active men and women to increase their strength, endurance and lean muscle size. Research shows that oral administration of Nitro Micronized Creatine monohydrate several times daily increases muscle stores of creatine phosphates by as much as 50%. Therefore, ATP and muscle power is maintained at a higher level for a longer length of time resulting in significantly greater workout intensity levels and increased athletic performance. Nitro Creatine monohydrate is micronized because it increases the surface area so you can absorb it faster and more efficiently. Nitro Micronized Creatine is HPLC tested to insure a minimum 99% purity.

What Vitamin B12 does for the body is keep the human body's nervous system and blood cells functioning health and efficiently. It supports healthy brain function and fuels the metabolism. It also supports the digestive system so that the body can absorb food efficiently to be later converted into energy.When taking a Vitamin B12 supplement it is important that your body absorbs the maximum nutrients possible. Finding the best B12 supplement for maximum absorption and sustained energy should be a number one priority. B12 supplements come in liquid, powder and tablet form. The answer to the best form can found by first understanding how B12 helps your body convert food into energy - B12 Liquid.
A Fomapan Action 400 black-and-white film to test the effect a the special Foca filter "Dyma" produced in France in the 50's.
The filter is called "Dyma" due to the presence of neodymium in the glass giving an unusual absorption by bands in the visible spectrum. In particulier blue and yellow color ans more absorbed than the rest of the spectrum. The filter existed in two different versions with the coefficient x2.5 or 3.5. Here the 42mm push-on Foca Dyma filter used is a x 3.5.
As a consequence, I exposed the Foma 400 for 80 ISO using a Minolta Autometer III with a 10° finder for selective measurements privileging the shadow areas. I used my FOCA camera PF2B year 1956 and its normal Oplar lens1:2.8 f=5cm equipped for all the views with the Dyma filter and a Genaco metal shade hood.
Typical settings during the session : 1/100s f/8 to f/11.

After exposure, the film was processed using Adox Adonal (Agfa Rodinal) developer at dilution 1+25, 20°C for 6 min.
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 basically for the FOCA PF3 and Foca Universel.

Adox Scala 50 film in négative processing:
After testing the high-resolution and ultra-fine gain film Adox HR-50 processed with the fine-grain developer Adox Atomal 49, I would like to compare with the Adox Scala 50 that likely the same formula but commercially intended to be processed with a reversal chemistry. I tried this chemistry past year but, unfortunately the bleaching bath was degraded and I obtained incompletely bleached positives that I reported here: flic.kr/s/aHBqjBCCha. The Scala 50 could be however processed as a normal negative using the same processing times and developer as recommended by Adox for HR-50.
For testing Scala 50 as a negative, I picked up for a second time my newly arrived exceptional French 35mm camera FOCA Universel RC (see below for details about this rare and fascinating camera), I went for photowalk at Port Rambaud, along.the Saône river bank, Lyon, France. The weather was very fair with gentle clouds in a nice blue Skye with a mild outdoor temperature (28°C).
I mounted on my FOCA the OPLAREX lens 1:1.9 f=5cm equipped with a yellow filter FOCA x2.5. The OPLAR /OPLAREX lenses for the FOCA’s only accept push-on filter (42.5mm in this specific case). A vintage Genaco cylindric stainless-steel shade hood conceived for a 5cm focal length was also used all along the session.
Expositions were determined for 32 ISO to compensate the absorption of the yellow filter (not the x2.5 coefficient due to the enhanced sensitivity of the film in the yellow). Metering was achieved using a Minolta Autometer III lightmeter fitted with a 10° finder for selective metering privileging the shadow areas, but too much to avoid high-lights saturation, or also in the incident-light mode with the integrating opal dome of the Autometer.
Most of the views were taken at 1/50s to 1/200s and f/5.6 to f/9 apertures.
Port Rambaud - La Confluence***, July 31, 2025
69002 Lyon
France
_____________________
*** Port Rambaud is a former river port in Lyon, on the Saône, located in the Confluence district at the end of the peninsula between the Saône and Rhône rivers up to the Pont de la Mulatière. The construction of the port was decided in 1909 but work was frozen during the First World War and only completed in 1926. Initially 500 m long, it was first extended in 1929 to the Pont de la Mulatière, reaching 1,000 m in 1953, allowing 16,000 m3 of hydrocarbons to be stored. From 1985, the activities of the Rambaud port were transferred to the new Édouard-Herriot port on the Rhône and the Rambaut port was closed in 1991. The old port became a concerted development zone to create the new "La Confluence" district where post-modernist architectural projects.
In 2014 was opened the Musée des Confluences (French pronunciation: [myze de kɔ̃flyɑ̃s]) a science centre and anthropology museum l ocated at the southern tip of the Presqu'île at the confluence of the Rhône and the Saône, adjacent to the A7 highway Paris-Marseille. The museum was designed in the deconstructivist architectural style, said to resemble a floating crystal cloud of stainless steel and glass, and was created by the Austrian firm Coop Himmelb(l)au.
______________________
After completion at view Nr. 38, the film was rewound normally and processed using 400 mL of stock solution of Adox Atomal 49 developer for 8min30 at 20°C.
Digitizing was made using a Sony A7 camera (ILCE-7, 24MP) fitted to a Minolta Auto Bellows III with the Minolta slide duplication accessory and Minolta Macro Bellow lens 1:3.5 f=50mm. The diffuse light source was a LED panel CineStill Cine-lite.
The RAW files obtained were inverted within the latest version available of Adobe Lightroom Classic (version 14.4) and edited to the final jpeg pictures without intermediate file. They are presented either as printer files with a frame or the full size JPEG's together with some documentary smartphone color pictures.
About the camera and its history :
Among the French 35mm camera produced by « Optique & Précision de Levallois S.A. » from 1945 to the middle of the 60’s, the FOCA Universel « RC » is likely the most captivating ever produced in France at that time.
The camera was the last development of the FOCA, sometime called the « French Leica » because the optical and mechanical precision matched and even surpassed the original thread-mount Leica. Far before the first Leica M (the M3 in 1954) O.P.L. developed a bayonet-mount FOCA in 1948 called the FOCA « Universel ». Seeing the incredible viewer and range finder of the Leica M that is likely the most sophisticated system even engineered, O.P.L. released lately a great improvement of the FOCA with a novel collimated, parallax auto-corrected, of a fully original and different design of the Leitz system.
The FOCA Universel RC It is a rare camera that only appears for time to time on the collector market, being only produced to a bit more than 2000 overall units in the years 1962 and 1963, just before O.P.L. decided to quit the camera production and returned to other instrumental optical production. O.P.L. soon merged with SOM Berthiot and today can be found still in the industrial filiation of SAFRAN group, the French leader company for designing and producing system for aerospace appliances. The plant where the FOCA's were produced still exists in an almost original form in Châteaudun, Eure-et-Loir, France.
I got my first FOCA URC unit two years ago (Sept. 2023, flic.kr/s/aHBqjAV6Dg) that is a standing and emotional piece of my small camera collection.
I got this one from an apparently ignored auction on the French eBay. We were only two biders in the last 5s and I won the auction not far away to the initial price. The camera was fully revised, with new shutter curtains, a new delayed shutter release mechanism. The serial number indicated a year-1962 production starting with 1.000.000, closed to my first FOCA URC. The camera works in every functions like on its Day-1! The camera came with a late version 1962 of the OPLAR 1:2.8 f=5cm standard collapsible lens of excellent quality, the FOCA UCR dedicated ever-ready leather bag with the original leather neck strap in good condition.
The original O.P.L. camera warranty and a registration postal card fortunately followed the life of the camera, indicating that this beautiful FOCA Universel RC was sold to its first owner on August 9, 1963 by the official FOCA dealer « ROYAL-PHOTO, Photo-Ciné-Magnétohone », 42, rue Vignon, Paris 9ème arrondissement, France, today a Weill fashion shop at the same address. The address of the owner also still exists with the original Parisian building in place, Boulevard Poniatwski, next to the Métro station « Porte de Charenton », Paris 12ème arrondissement.
The shown original FOCAL Universel RC user manual is the one that came with my other FOCA URC camera.
These information pushed me to question what were the news in France on this Friday, August 9, 1963… France was mainly on vacation, by an exceptional wet and fresh weather that wasted many French citizens holidays. The whole national radio information bulletin is still available online here :

Wetlands are biodiversity rich sensitive ecosystems that harbor hundreds of plants, insects, birds and other animals uniquely adapted to their wetland mode of life.They are crucial to maintain the regional water balance through ground water recharge and absorption of flood waters and also serve as the rice bowl of developing countries. Nevertheless, wetlands play immense role in the socio-economic and livelihood aspects of local communities living around the wetland. In India, rural communities depend wetland for livelihood through farming, mat making etc; for food through fishing and hunting; for roof thatching by collection of reeds and palm leaf ; for firewood; for fodder etc. However, these wetlands are now under a threat of conversion for big industrial and real estate projects, change in lifestyle of local community, over extraction of resources by increased population, pollution,waste dumping, eutrophication and pesticide farming. There are three important wetlands in the Puducherry region namely Oussudu, Bahour and Kaliveli that provide important resources for local communities and also are a home to tens of thousands of migratory birds that visit the Puducherry region in winter. These wetlands have been acknowledged as Important Bird Areas(IBAs) by IBCN, since many of these birds are represented in more than 1% of their global population.
The recent threat on wetlands of Puducherry is more due to the change in life style of local community living around these wetlands. The younger generation is not much dependent on wetland resources, The younger and modern generation has lost the compassion and bonding to the wetland which their forefathers maintained through sustainable livelihood practices. This has resulted in a change in attitude and perception of the community towards unsustainable farming and resource extraction, game hunting, intensive fishing and reclamation, ultimately resulting in shrinking of wetland area and loss of biodiversity at an alarming pace. Local community is leaving the traditional farming practices for more fertilizer and pesticide based farming; fish stock is depleted using invasive Gill nets. Since Puducherry is fast developing region with rapidly growing commercial tourism and industrial establishments, these wetlands are under the threat of reclamation for resort construction and other commercial establishments. Poaching for a sport as well as open selling of birds including the threatened species is common. School drop-out are noticed to get attracted to such practices to make easy money as well as hunting for a sport with peers. With time, they may grow into expert hunters who will depend on poaching as the main source of income for the family. There are many wetland awareness programs organized by Forest Department as well as NGOs targeting school kids and educated community through workshops. School drop-outs are often not specially targeted by any of such programs and often not brought under the ambit of such programs. This gap needs to be addressed for local conservation efforts to be fully effective. We have chosen birds as the umbrella species whose conservation will in turn protect the lake and biodiversity as a whole. Birds are attractive and beautiful; ,which may easily get compassion from drop-out kids if guided appropriately. With proper efforts, the poachers can be turned to protectors and expert tour guides to facilitate ecotourism.

U.S. 95, Walker Lake, Nevada
The lake is fed from the north by the Walker River and has no natural outlet except absorption and evaporation.
Walker Lake is approximately 12.7 miles long and 5 miles wide, with a maximum depth of about 83 feet (2011).
The lakebed is a remnant of prehistoric Lake Lahontan that covered much of northwestern Nevada during the ice age. Although the ancient history of Walker Lake has been extensively studied by researchers seeking to establish a climatic timeline for the region as part of the Yucca Mountain Nuclear Waste Repository study, this research has raised many puzzling questions.
Unlike Pyramid Lake, the lake itself has dried up several times since the end of the Pleistocene, probably due to natural diversions of the Walker River into the Carson Sink approximately 2,100 years ago. Also, this research found no evidence that the Walker Lake basin contained water during the Lake Lahontan highstand, although based on the surface elevation of the highstand evidenced elsewhere in the region it must have.
Lahontan cutthroat trout no longer occur in the lake and recent work by researchers indicates that the lake's Tui chub have declined dramatically and may soon disappear as the salinity levels are lethal to Tui chub eggs and young chubs. The decline of the lake's fishery is having a dramatic impact on the species of birds using the lake.
By 2009, the town of Hawthorne canceled its Loon Festival because the lake, once a major stopover point for migratory loons, could no longer provide enough chub and other small fish to attract many loons.
