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 !

Interesting images, congratulations on your purchase.

There's some undefineable charm in using such an old and simple camera to go shooting pictures.

Great images for the first outing with your "Brick".
Keep up the good work. Here is a great link for you to check out if haven't yet. http://arguscg.tripod.com/id92.html or if you have a Matchmatic, here. http://www.arguscg.org/manuals/c3/c3matchmatic.pdf

Other than the (large) size of your uploads, looks like you've got the camera working good.

You make me want to use my Brick now. I have a matchmatic I got just before xmas and haven't had the chance to try yet. Sounds like it is time!

Wow sorry for the size I will shrink them next time. I already have the manuals from the Argus collectors group, but thanks anyway. I am currently customizing my Argus C3 with a new skin and flash. I love how simple it is.

I've yet to take one apart, not that there aren't two or three sitting around here needing it. Just haven't gotten around to them yet. And besides, I've got at least one working model, so they can wait. I have picked up some wood veneer to apply to one, and am looking for some suitable 'brick' material to cover another.

Really nice photos. I have had a brick for a long time but never used it. I guess I should.

Those are some fine images from your brick ! I also need to run a roll through mine.

Not sure where you are located, but some of those shots look kinda like Texas.
