I have one from the fall of 1945 that works fine, but the lack of coating makes a difference. <br /><br />Regarding straps, I have a number of older cameras lacking strap lugs. I found a little device that screws into the tripod mount that I can hook a strap to, works a treat.Kevin Thomasnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8717981.post-11346476667046881762020-04-04T11:05:12.482-04:002020-04-04T11:05:12.482-04:00I'm always taken in by an article about the Ar...I'm always taken in by an article about the Argus Camera Company.<br />When my dad was in Med school at the U of M, he and mom were married in June 1940. She joined him in student housing and went to work at the Argus Camera Company. Growing up, an Argus C3 was always there for any event that needed to be recorded (along with an 8mm Bell & Howell). Dad put more rolls of Kodachrome through that camers than I can count. When I got my hands on it in the mid 60's, that camera needed to learn a new trick - B&W Tri-X (more rolls than I can count!).
