Argus RF Forum for Argus RF nuts. The American made Argus C-3 may be the most prolific rangefinder, with over 3 million cameras produced! While American RF nutz of the 1950's may have yearned for a Leica, Zeiss, Canon or Nikon, most of them used an Argus !

Here's my favorite shot from the 3rd roll through the C3. I can't believe how macro looking it came out! Such an illusion because the mushroom is actually about a foot in diameter. This is close focus opened up all the way.

Wow, they grow 'em big on the islands! Nice results. Finding that point of closest focus, and keeping the subject in the frame is hard to do sometimes.

Welcome, great shots. The best part is, we all have a tour guide & a place to stay when we visit Hawaii. We will call first.

Please post some more.

I just picked up another "Brick". 1955 model this time. It wasn't working so I had to take it apart and get the shutter speed regulator working. The camera was basically free because it was a non working freebie that came along with a Sandmar wide angle lens. There was a step up adapter, a couple of hoods, and another standard coated lens in the package as well. Even a leather lens case!
I am half way through a roll of Kodak 100 right now after all the CLA so I'll post up my results when I'm done with the roll.
My plan is for some shots with the wide angle lens,(already done) then some with the standard coated with the 85C filter, and then finish off with the lens from the Matchmatic to compare.

Ok, here we go... Back to the old haunt for some shots with the 1955 Argus C3 equipped with the standard coated lens, 85C filter and lens hood.
