Its first model was the Norca A, that was the first 24x36 camera made in France, inspired by the Argus A. After the war, it produced variants of this camera, as well as the small Norca Pin-Up, an evolution of the Rower, inspired by the Univex A. Many people say that FAP also made the Rower from 1936, but a FAP ad shown here at Sylvain Halgand's site says that the company was founded in 1938.
