Has more story the more I look at it - the hard-faced hard-pressed woman striding past has no time for who she was in younger days (the vintage photo on the chair) or the women of today (the mannequin).

Works out just fine, it seems to me, despite the low-res - sharpness is overrated, as you know.

That's what I was thinking!

Squint your eyes and it looks a bit like Siberia. :)

It does look very submarine-ish. Where do you find this stuff...

Memories

I read somewhere that they were intended to be carried in pocket of a particular type of overcoat that was popular at the time, where the pocket was bizarrely large. I've got some Kodak "pockets" that I can't even fit in the microwave (not that I would do such a foolish thing, of course...). Nice set up you have here. Is it missing it's little stand? (see on the underside of the door - there should be a small metal rectangle, usually says "Kodak" on it - if you flip it out, it will level the camera out) - I see the side-stand is there - the little metal thing at the left corner - if you flip it out to the side it helps stand the camera while taking landscape shots.

A little TOO cheap, I suppose.

Strange - have you figured out how to get it working yet?

Is this cheap enough?

Gotta love the price. What is that, tire tread on the lens?

Argus C3 "Brick"

Comment:
And what a brick - likely too one of those kinds of cameras that a non-camera collector can't fathom why we have it. :)

That is a really cool camera - it has quite a history.

Interesting - I wonder if the rings design was intended as some sort of Olympics tie-in, or if the design on this camera preceded when the iconic rings made their appearance at the Games (or copyright infringement wasn't an issue, since the rings are not colored).
