Governor Moore Governor does his Pre Game Warmup by Joe Andrucyk at Orioles Park at Camden Yards, Baltimore, MD 21201
On December 5, 2023, I went by walk from the district of Vaise, Lyon, France, to the hill of Fourvière with my FOCA Universel RC camera, ultimate and last evolution 1962 of the French range-finder 35mm FOCA Universel camera's (1948-1963) .
For this occasion, the camera was loaded with an ILFORD HP5+ 36-exposure film. The film was exposed for 400 ISO indoor with a FOCA AUV filter and 125 ISO outdoor with a FOCA Yellow x2.5 filter using an Autometer III Minolta light meter fitted with a 10° finder. The lens selected for this day was a FOCA OPLAREX 1:1.9 f=5cm lens equipped with a a generic cylindrical shade hood.

After exposure, the film was revealed using Adox Adonal developper at dilution 1+25 at 20°C for 6min The film was then digitized 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.
The film has everywhere some silver aggregates that render the film quite "dusty". This phenomenon may originates from diverses sources (too quick warmup of the film from the fridge? presoak useful? use a 1+50 dilution instead of 1+25?).
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 Vivo Y76 color pictures.
About the camera :
Only a bit more than 2000 FOCA URC were produced in the O.P.L. (« Optique et precision de Levallois » S.A.) in Châteaudun, Eure, France, in 1962 and 1963 before stopping definitively the manufacturing of the curtain-shutter camera’s. The FOCA Universel RC is considered as the most beautiful FOCA ever produced in France. A series of FOCA Universel RC were provided to the French "Marine Nationale" and "Armée de l'Air".
The evolution of the FOCA Universel to the « RC » version included a complete new system of wide viewfinder at 1:1 ratio with collimation in orange color and coupled full parallax compensation. I got the camera on September 9, 2023 at the photo fair of the Photography Museum of Saint-Bonnet-de-Mure, France. It took about 3 months of reflexion and discussion with a retailer to take the decision. The camera was provided with the normal 5-lens OPLAR optics 1:2.8 f=5cm of the same period (model-6 version-10, 1961) with front cap and FOCA AUV 42mm push-on filter, the specific URC ever-ready leather bag in perfect condition, and the original edition of the user manual.
