FOCA  made in OPL

Made by OPL - (Société Optique et Précision de Levallois, S.A),

 “Foca” cameras were well  known as the french Leica.

They produce a series of cameras from 1945 until 1967. 

Even farway from german quality , Foca was innovating in the french market...
Strong design is the major quality.

Here is my collection …I’m constantly  looking for new cameras and accessories

WALKING IN THE WILD SIDE

A rainy day is never a good day to be outside. Nevertheless I decide to take a “Walk in the wet side” (allusion to Nick Cave song)

Once in shop “Flash Antiquites Brocante, I’ve found the “wild” felling with the art exhibition 

of Mr. Michel Lecoeur.mixes with all antiques...

Shame on me , pictures were token with my smart phone… Nobody is perfect...
