O.P.L.- FOCA  (Optique et Precision de Levalois S.A.  France)  made precision machine guns and marine rangefinders for National Defence. In 1938 the decision to make a precision camera to compete with Leica and Contax was made. WWII intervened and the first camera was not offered to the public until late 1945. The last FOCA was produced in 1967.
