New in my collection, the external FOCANOX finder from the French FOCA camera company O.P.L. (French : "Optique & Precision de Levallois").
The finder FOCANOX is a model-2 produced by O.P.L. from 1957 (the first model was produced starting from 1954). The box is the original one stating the same serial number. The finder covers the field of the normal lenses f=5cm on any 24x36mm camera.
The FOCANOX finder is of the Albada type, designed by the Dutch inventor L.E.W. van Albada in the 1930’s.An Albada viewfinder is a viewfinder that has a special mirrored lens that creates the illusion of projected viewfinder frame lines when looking through the eye piece. It does this by reflecting white rectangular lines that are printed on a transparent bit of “plastic” near the eye piece. The mirror reflects the frame lines so that they are in focus when looking through the finder at an object. This creates the illusion of a white frame line floating magically around your subject.
The projected lines in the Albada finder were intended to help a photographer to become more aware of the edges of the image and work as an aid to create better composition. A translucent body enlighten the collimation.
The finder is presented with the other available external FOCA finders for the lens f=3,5cm and the multi-focal finders Sport and Universel.
The FOCANOX was a very clear collimated finder used in subdue light scenes or any general purpose photography.
