This is a printing press we were allowed to uncover in a rail-house undergoing restoration. It is in incredible condition considering its age. I had to sit and stare at this thing for several minutes in awe.

"Film d'essai" (test film) of my new French FOCA camera type « PF3 » or ***, made in Châteaudun, Eure, France, year 1954 during a photo walk at the Parc Tête d'Or, Lyon, France, on November 13, 2023.
The OPLAR normal lens was equipped with a 42mm push-on FOCA (France) AUV filter plus a generic metal cylindric shade hood.
The camera was loaded with a Rollei Superpan 200S exposed for 200 ISO. Rollei Superpan 200S is derived from Agfa Aviphot 200 a super-panchromatic film sensitized in the red to 780 nm and coated on a maskless PET base. The anti-halation is provided by water-soluble black and blue pigments coated on the back.
Expositions were determined using a Minolta Autometer III with a 10° finder for selective measurements privileging the shadow areas. The weather was rainy and quite dark in the afternoon giving typical exposure from 1/50s to 1/25s at f/4.5 to the full aperture f/2.8.

After exposure, the film was processed using Adox Adonal (= Agfa Rodinal) developer at dilution 1+25, 20°C for 8min.
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 printing framed versions and unframed full-size jpeg accompanied by some documentary smartphone Vivio Y76 color pictures.
About the camera and the lens:
This French FOCA camera type « PF3 » or ***, was made in Châteaudun, Eure, France, year 1954.
I got the set from a French dealer on eBay , including the camera and its normal lens OPLAR 1:2.8 f=5cm, a rare ever-ready bag Ref 120-503 « Luxe » with a upper compartment for three 42mm push-on filters. The bag is made of a pork leather and was in 1950 three times more expensive than a normal ever-ready bag. The set also included a FOCA view finder covering the field of a 3,5cm focal lens in its original grey and rd small FOCA box, a soft neoprene FOCA hood, three 42mm FOCA filters yellow x2.5, green x3.5, and orange x4. The kit also included a (used?) roll of Kodachrome-64 (DX-coded canister).
According to the serial number in 401.xxx, this PF3 should be a model-1 (version 5 or 6).
The camera was used very carefully and has been probably well serviced in the past. The OPLAR normal lens 1:2.8 f=5cm is a model-3 version-3 from 1954 too with the "ECD/9" diaphragm graduation 2.8...3.5...9....18.
The camera was originally sold to its first owner by « Photo-Plait » in Paris, France, one of the most important photo store, founded in 1910 and editing a well-know catalog of camera's for mail-order selling in France and overseas. Then the camera could have been sold either in the Photo-Plait store, 35-39, rue Lafayette, Paris 9ème or by mail-order selling.
When I first detailed the camera, I soon realized that it is almost pristine with very little signs of a very careful use. All functions works flawlessly, including the slow shutter speeeds and the shutter curtains are as new. The view finder and range finder are very clear and contrasted as the day 1. The lens is also very nice condition.
The FOCA PF3 is essentially the same camera as the type PF2B (PF for "Petit Format") constructed in France by the company "Optique & Precision de Levallois" (OPL) starting from 1947. The difference lies in the built-in slow speed mechanism giving 1/10s, 1/5s, 1/2s and 1s exposition times, plus the T-mode. It was manufactured in the Châteaudun OPL factory, route de Jallans, France. The factory, constructed in 1938, is still at the same place under the name of SAFRAN now producing precision devices for aerospace appliances.
