Description from the seller

Argus C3 matchmatic (Argus Inc. Ann Arbor, USA)

This camera type was produced from 1958 to 1966.

Image format: 24 x 36 mm
Lens: Argus Coated Cintar 3.5/50mm
Shutter: -/300
Coupled rangefinder
Case: Bakelite and metal parts, two-tone finish
Built-in flash synchronization
Detachable selenium exposure meter, the so-called EV values, which must be translated into apertures and shutter speeds.
A manual can be found at www.argus.cg.org
Accessories: Original leather carrying bag of high quality

The Argus C3 matchmatic was used as a prop in several Harry Potter films and, as a result, became famous and sought after again. The camera offered here belonged to an American camera collector.

Condition:
The cosmetic condition can be described as good to very good. The lens is clear and free of scratches. The shutter fires at all speeds, but this has only been tested acoustically. All settings operate smoothly. No further tests were performed. The selenium light meter, over 60 years old, responds only minimally to changes in brightness.

The photos are an integral part of the camera description and condition.
