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 !

$20 eBay special.
Twenty bucks got me working Argus C3 and a working Weston Master II light meter. Think I'll display the C3 and use the light meter!

Nice little camera, but you should clean that lens on your smartphone

It looks like a beauty! I was after one of these a few weeks back via ebay, the price went up I can't recall by how much but I decided that it was too much to pay. Are they any good?

I think they are great cameras. I have several and both have nice lens. And they are so easy to repair, but prices seem to have gone up. I use to never pay over $8.00, I bought some just for parts. I sold a Matchmatic the other day for $39.00.

Looks like you also got a Series adapter with the lens. Those itty-bitty screw-in filters are not only hard to find, but hard to mount. The adapter will make life easier.
