I got a classic Argus C3 for Christmas from my dad. At first, I didn’t know what to expect. It was old and clunky and the parts didn’t move so well. But it looked cool as hell. So I took it all apart and spent a couple hours cleaning the insides with q-tips and alcohol and then lubing it all up with baby oil. Voila!
Now that I’ve gotten my first roll of photos back, I’m happy to say it takes lovely photos! One thing that made me nervous was that a few times, the shutter release caught on my finger as it was releasing. This made the exposure longer than it was supposed to be, but it resulted in giving those photos a lovely glow!
If you get the chance to buy one of these cameras, I’d highly recommend it!
