A provisional driver (P-plate) managed to park though a brush fence and a concrete post this afternoon in quiet suburban Waverly Streat, Netherby, Adelaide. Note the brush fence - very popular in Adelaide and an occasional tempation for the passing pyromanic as well as the odd P-plater.

"Film d'essai" (test film) of the French lens Optique & Précision de Levalllois (OPL) Teleoplar 1:4.5 f=13,5cm coupled to my FOCA Universel "R", a French range-finder 35mm camera of the 50's, on May 4, 2023, Lyon, France.
The camera was loaded with a Fomapan Creative 200 36-exposure film exposed for 160 ISO using an Autometer III Minolta lightmeter fitted with a 10° finder for selective measurements privileging the shadow areas. The Teleoplar lens was equipped with a Foca AUV push-on 42mm protective filter and a generic cylindrical shade hood.
The focus was obtained using the Foca Universel range finder coupled to the lens. However initial tests showed that the range-finder has a little shift with the Teleoplar lens while it looked well calibrated with the normal Oplarex lens or the Oplar wide-angle lens. I used also a laser telemetering to asses exact distances that correspond to the lens barrel distance scale in which one could confident.
Framing was obtained using the collapsible FOCA sport finder using the adapted 135mm frame and setting.

After exposure, the film was revealed using Tetenal Ultrafin Liquid developper at dilution 1+20, 20°C for 7min30. 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. According to its serial number, this exemplary of Foca Universel R was likely manufactured in Châteaudun, France, in 1958.
The camera is equipped normally with the collapsible OPLAREX lens 1:1.9 f=5cm with the OPL bayonet mount.

I needed to run to the store tonight before dinner. With the baby's recent arrival, I haven't given much thought to any train photos. Chance favored the prepared mind tonight as I brought my camera and kicked on the scanner in time to hear a northbound hit the detector about 8 minutes to the south. Plenty of time to pick a spot and sweat out a cloud. BNSF 4676 North rolled into the siding at Rogersville with a Vehicle - Birmingham to Blue Island (V-BIRBLU) with a surprise in the 2nd out position. Within 15 minutes, I had shot the train, got to the store and back home!

This is a friend receiving a tattoo. My entire focus was on the tool and the hand holding it. The tattoo artist held the tool like a pen or pencil -- his precision was astounding.
