Bob, there's nothing wrong with those shots and you again show that an "oldie" such as the Argus C-3 can produce excellent pictures. Our predecessors weren't so poorly equiped as some imagine.

Yea that is one quirk but I found having to cock the shutter separate from winding on to be different also as well as having separate VF and RF windows. Although the last is not as shocking because I have SM Leicas. The bass ackwards film leading threw me when I tried to scan some negs. Getting them in the scanner film holder correctly was fun. No, no comments from passers by today.

Yea, they weren't too shabbily equipped were they? They did have to put up with a lot more rigamaroll to actually be able to take a photo. I always wondered at what changing a lens was like on the Russian front in the dead of winter on a SM Leica. I think photos in general were more pleasing to the taker back then as opposed to just P&S everything like today. You get a feeling of accomplishment using these oldies when you get decent results. Or maybe I am just a Luddite masochist.

Those are very clear photos. The old saying is..."Everything Old is New Again".

Bob, these shots look really good. The C3 is quite a brick, eh? I picked one up a couple of years ago but haven't got around to trying it yet. I think I'm afraid of it :-)

You may or may not have experienced this, but I always get gockers who finally ask what kind of camera is that thing. Ron Head Kalamazoo, MI The show-off in e now wants a Brick! The Paxette is so tiny that it disappears in my hands and nobody ever notices it. Either that or they just don't care. I do get comments over the SRT 101 though. Back in the late nineties I was proudly using my 'new' Yashica Mat 124G in down town Brisbane, Australia. A woman came up and asked 'Is that one of those new digital cameras?' I was quite chuffed.
