I shot a test roll with a new-to-me Argus C-3. The old girl's shutter hangs
up but it sure is fun. I got the original instruction manual, leather case,
and perfect flash bar for $15.
Anyway, I loaded up some Fuji 1600 and smuggled it into a concert. The
shutter kept hanging opend so I've exercised it without film since I got the
roll back and it's very consistent now. Almost all of the frames were
ruined by the shutter hanging up at 1/50 and below but I did get one frame
worth sharing.

You'll undoubtedly have to reconstruct the link. Can anyone tell me if it
is camera motion or the crude (unsharp) optics that caused the soft-focus
effect? It works because Margo isn't as young as she used to be and the
flowers gave me "permission" to go soft.
Anyway, the C-3 is a novelty at this point but I'll try another roll on the
tripod and continue to exercise the shutter to limber it up. No oil on the
diaphram blades. Fun.
