My dad always tried to get me into photography, but I never had the patience to learn what all the knobs and switches did. A few months ago, I found my grandpa's old C2. I cleaned it up, found a manual online, and figured out how to work it. It was a great way to learn the basics, not to mention the gorgeous pictures it takes; I feel like I don't have to do a thing!

I have a bunch of Argus cameras myself, my favorite is the Argus FA. I modified the flash attachment to take an Electronic Flash. Cut off the Flash pan, and glued a Bryl cream cap on top with a shoe mount on top of that and wired it to the connectors, works great!

The only moderately expensive accessories are the 35mm and 100mm Sandmar accessory lens for the C3. There's also a rarer Soligor lens. Most people don't realize that the C3 is an interchangeable lens camera. Of course I have the 35mm and 100mm Cintagon accessory lens for the C44 and 44r models.

You too? I thought I was the only Argus freak. I have uncounted dozens of A's/C2/C3/C33/C4/C44/C44R/Argo­flex/Autronics.

I used to have several working models and big junk box of them until I learned to work on 'em... now there are just a few cameras left in the junk box. I have enough parts to keep them running long after film is no longer made... lilght meters, external viewfinders... all of it.
