First roll with my C-3 i got for $12 shipped.. not bad at all!

took the roll forever ago, but never got to scanning it.

EDIT: I just scanned prints, so quality isn't too good, but you all get the idea

Looks like your finger might have gotten in the way with the little lever on the front that moves to time the exposure, thus accidently keeping the shutter open way longer then it should have. I seemed to hold my grandpa's old C3 in a such a way that I accidently held the shutter open abouit half the time.

I have had the same problem with my finger getting in the way of the lever, What I have done with all my Argus C3 and Match -Matic's is to loosen the nut on the lever and turn it so that the point of the lever faces the lens ,then tighten the nut, this way your finger doen't get in the way when you take a picture as now the lever is moving down and away from your finger.

You fellows are making me want to dig out my old C3 and shoot a roll. As far as the shutter-drag is concerned, I ruined about half of the slides I shot on my first trip to Europe that way back in 1965.

$12! Equal to any $500 digital I've seen.
