Argus C

1938-1939

This is the first of the argus "C" line a.k.a. "the brick". This camera is a large camera made of bakelite, with a metal frontplate. This camera soes focus, but unlike the A's, it has a rangefinder. The rangefinder is a view of what you want to focus with a bottom, and top image. You rotate a dial, and the bottom and top images move. Once you have them lined up correctly, you adjust the lens to the correct distance. I doubt you understand what i am talking about...but i am trying my best :)
