The Argus C3 was a low-priced rangefinder camera mass-produced
from 1939 to 1966 by Argus in Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA. The camera sold
about 2 million units, making it one of the most popular cameras in
history. Due to its shape, size, and weight, it is commonly referred to
as "The Brick" by photographers (in Japan its nickname translates as
"The Lunchbox"). The most famous 20th-century photographer who used it
was Tony Vaccaro, who employed this model during World War II. (Sold December 2017) |
