I had to look this one (or two) up. It just goes to show that in real life you don't have to come from Wetzlar to be good. Good shots.

Is this from the famous Argus Brick (C3)?

Thanks, John. I try to get the best I can from whatever equipment I'm using.

Yes, Chris. I've got a little over a half dozen of them now. People sometimes just give them to me.

Those are awfully nice to be "out-takes". 🙂

Thanks, I try my best. Can't go very wrong shooting architecture.

I shot this in existing light with a C3 a widow gave me for finding her deceased husband's wedding ring in her yard with a metal detector. It had no CLA of any sort, just put film in it and started shooting. It is an early 1950s model with the coated lens.

Nice to see the accessory lenses at work, I have them in a drawer that look like new but have never had time to take them out in the field, so thank-you.

I too have a small herd of unwanted Argi. No accessory lenses, but I know that Cintar is plenty adequate for great images. Haven't used any of my Argi for years now 🙁

I frequently see "Argi" in flea markets, and have often been tempted to spend the $5.00 and see what one can do. Then I realize I already have an awkward, heavy brick. It's called a Hasselblad...
