The Argus C3 is apparently the all time 35mm rangefinder sales leader
with over a million sold.
It is for that reason Argus has its own forum at RFF.
Which Canon RF does Therese use in the film ?
She uses a Canon IIIa -- that's what the placard says in the camera shop where Carol buys the camera, and the camera itself looks right (I had one once). Looks like a 50/1.4 or 1.5 lens, but hard to tell.
Just saw this about period photographic influences on the film -- not just Saul Leiter, but also Ruth Orkin, Helen Levitt, Esther Bubley and Vivian Maier:

For those in the UK an Argus appears in the latest TV advert featuring Meercats and Macauley Culkin.
