AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Argus Argoflex TLR camera – ~1940-1947 – including original 620 spool – working shutter

Offered a handsome and characterful Argus Argoflex twin-lens reflex camera from the United States, produced in the period circa 1940-1947. This model belongs to the early American medium-format TLR cameras and was designed at the time as an affordable alternative to European models.

The camera has a fully metal body with original covering and is equipped with an Argus Anastigmat 75mm f/4.5 lens. The viewfinder features the distinctive Argus logo on the hood.

Condition
The camera is in nice vintage condition with normal signs of wear appropriate to its age.

* Shutter releases and appears to operate mechanically
* Aperture moves
* Film advance runs
* Viewfinder present with matte screen
* Film chamber clean
* Includes original metal 620 film spool (an important and valuable component)

The exact shutter speeds have not been tested with measuring equipment and may vary due to age. The camera is offered as a collectible/decorative object/untested camera without warranty.

Specifications
* Type: Twin Lens Reflex (TLR)
* Film format: 620 roll film (6×6 cm negatives)
* Lens: Argus Anastigmat 75mm f/4.5
* Country of origin: United States
* Period: approx. 1940-1947

Notes
The included original 620 spool makes it possible to actually use the camera with re-spooled 120 film, which makes this set attractive for both collectors and analogue photographers.

The photos are an integral part of the description and the auction.

Carefully packaged and shipped.
