What is the camera she used? It looks really close to an old Argus Rangefinder that I have but its a little different. Maybe a different model? Anyone know?

I think this is it, funny I think they inverted the image for the poster.

It's just the Argus "Brick" C3. In the movie it's the right way round:

In the poster it even says "RANGE FINDER" in mirror type.
 
I think the frame counter was enhanced for the needs of the movie.

(OT: There is Polly Perkins - and we talk about that brick?! Maybe we have a serious problem;-)
 
The brick also got used in Harry Potter movie(s) too, I believe. It strikes a design chord for both futurism and magic!
