First roll through the new-to-me C3

[Muggins]

Very nice, Tim! And closer to Pulitzer Prize than pullet surprise too.

Here's one of mine - not with a C3, but equally quirky and simlar age:

Here are a couple from my old "brick"

I should use this camera more than I do.

I believe I just found one of these at a messy yard/estate sale near me in a very rural area. I got a box of interesting cameras, however fungus and mildew abound. I'm still assessing the damage.

Loving these images. I need to dig mine out soon. Well done.

I have always been happy with my Argus C3.

Very very nice. That first batch look almost inspired by the look of the camera, strong and contrasty.

Thanks, very kind.

Thank you! It is certainly well deserving of the name "brick". Strong indeed.

A few years ago I was teaching a class on Sports Photography at a local community college. Students were complaining that they couldn't get good sports shots because they didn't have the latest whiz bang digital wonder with f2.8 zoom lenses. So I found an Argus C3 on the auction site for about $20 and took it to a local high school basketball game.


Certainly won't win any Pulitzer, but it's a perfectly capable little camera.

Best,
-Tim

That's how to show them! Great stuff. I've shot a very little amount of basketball (and NOT with a C3) - it's challenging!

Thanks. It's so fun, I don't use mine as much as I should.
