Argus v-100 - Opinions? Experiences?

[68degrees]

Have any of you ever used this camera? Argus V-100 rangefinder made in Germany.

It's one camera I always try to bid on, but keep losing out. So it must be either good, or just highly collectible.

You might get better responses putting this in the Argus forum.

Edit: Maybe not. I just did a quick scan of all subjects in the Argus forum, and there is nothing on the V-100. I can't recall what company made the V-100, but it was a high quality model.

Iloca made some Tower cameras, the last based on the B Rapid. The V-100 looks to also be a B Rapid. (BTW, I like the Iloca Aut-O-Mat best).

That Iloca Electric looks like a neat little camera.
