Argus C3 Standard “Brick” camera, tested and functioning.

AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Imposing as a brick (hence the English nickname "Brick" for this camera), this camera comes from the United States, produced by Argus Inc., Ann Arbor. According to what I found in our books and online, it is an Argus C3 Standard, produced between 1958 and 1966, for 35 mm film (135). Shutter: Argus from 1/10 to 1/300 of a second, lens: Cintar 1:3.5/50 mm. Coupled rangefinder. Curiously, the shutter mechanism is located in the body of the camera, not on the front of the lens.
Camera showing some signs of wear as in the photo but working.
Piece for collectors and enthusiasts of the genre.
It is sold with its original case.
