Introduction to the Argus C3 Matchmatic

Argus' C3 model cameras represent the most-produced American-made camera ever. Made of forged and cast aluminum, bakelite, and generally reliable parts, the Argus C3 bodies largely remain functional and reliable many decades after their construction. These rangefinders deliver very high quality images because of their sharp and contrast lenses, significant mass, and nearly imperceptible shutter action.
