OPL (Foca) Foca Universel R (U.R.)
The Foca Universel R (U.R.) is a 35mm rangefinder camera made in France by OPL (Optique et Précision de Levallois), the maker of the Foca line. It sits in the upper end of OPL's post-war Foca rangefinder range and is sought today primarily by collectors of French precision cameras.
Sales data for the Foca Universel R is thin, but a single recorded UK auction hammer result in April 2025 saw an example sell for £1,375, indicating that clean cameras can command four-figure prices at saleroom level today. With only one verified data point, this should be read as an indicative wholesale figure rather than a settled market value, and what a Foca Universel R is worth in 2026 will depend heavily on cosmetic condition, completeness and working order.
