Camera Stuff

I love all cameras and still like to " Burn" film. Rangefinder cameras are so simple and a pure joy to use. Argus C3's are fun as they are " Auto Nothing". All the big boys at one time of another had a decent Rangefinder and with good Black and White Film and a Red Filter, still beat my monochrome conversions from my digital cameras. ( Yes light leaks , sticky shutters are all paret of old camera problems, but to show up at a car show with an Argus C3 still turns heads...

Very cool collection. You've got some classic cameras here, my favorite being the F3. Also a few I've never seen before. Thanks for sharing these images.

i have several cameras dating back to your time-do you have list of collectors looking for same--berlin1@msu.edu ??

Never had or used an Argus - don't even know if they were exported 'down under'. They look nice and 'chunky' and have all the attributes I enjoy - a style of their own, simple design, some moving parts, some 'character', and a good history. The cutaway cases look fabulous and the black C3 here is especially attractive! This is a great collection from top to bottom, including the 'bible' (yes, I have one by the bed). ~V~

I started back in the early 70's with an Argus C3. Great camera. Wish I still had it.

I still use a C3 as well as a C-4. I also use an "A" once in a while but the shutter is a bit unpredictable. Very nice collection. Rangefinders are a joy to use.
