O.P.L.-Foca Focaflex
The Focaflex is a 35mm leaf-shutter SLR produced by the French firm O.P.L.-Foca. It was introduced in the late 1950s and positioned as a more advanced, reflex-viewing alternative to the company's rangefinder Foca line.
At UK auction, hammer prices for the Focaflex have sat in the £130–£150 band, based on the limited records to hand, with a median around £140. As of today these are wholesale saleroom results and clean, working examples with original leather can sell for more privately; cosmetic wear and shutter faults pull values back sharply.
