Argus Half Frame

[Doug T.]

Hi All !
I just picked up an Argus model 35HFM. I almost didn't buy it ( it cost me a whole 50 cents), but I noticed that it takes full or half frame photos
It appears to be from the 80's, probably made by Haking or some other Chinese maker.
I'll clean it up and post a couple of shots.
Has anyone else ever heard of an Argus half-frame?

The Argus 35HFM was made in Taiwan.

It is interesting that its four film speeds were adjusted by reverting back to over a century old Waterhouse stops.
