Enjoying this thread MM.
I have accumulated some old cameras. Some given, some handed down. This one is an old Argus Range Finder camera. It has a beautiful old leather case that it sits in - a bear for trying to change film when it sits in the case. I need to come up with a blacker and more reflective platform for these shots.

As Argus C3! I spent many hours shooting with that camera when I was in high school. Great shot!
Thank you. So how was this camera? Was it any good? Not asking in regards to my camera, but knowledge of this camera from its day.
I'd say it's a middle of the road rangefinder. It gets the job done, and the optics are pretty good. They were affectionately called bricks, and they were built like one. It was a very popular camera, good quality at a reasonable price in the day.
The one I used is long gone, my sister had it and tossed it because "it didn't work anymore." ARGH!
