Camera spotting: Carol

[pagpow]

I kept one because it had the simplest multiple exposure arrangement of any camera I owned.

The Argus C3 is apparently the all time 35mm rangefinder sales leader
with over a million sold.

It is for that reason Argus has its own forum at RFF.

Which Canon RF does Therese use in the film ?

She uses a Canon IIIa -- that's what the placard says in the camera shop where Carol buys the camera, and the camera itself looks right (I had one once). Looks like a 50/1.4 or 1.5 lens, but hard to tell.

Just saw this about period photographic influences on the film -- not just Saul Leiter, but also Ruth Orkin, Helen Levitt, Esther Bubley and Vivian Maier:

For those in the UK an Argus appears in the latest TV advert featuring Meercats and Macauley Culkin.

Which is probably why Duane Michals used it.
