Phil Sterritt:
Phil says, "I decided to shoot a few pictures with my Argus B to see how it would do.
Found the lens to be pretty sharp, but a bit soft in contrast. Once you got
used to it, it would probably take some pictorially interesting photos.
Both pictures shot on Walgreen's finest 100-speed house brand film."

Mike says, "Here are my Argust 3rd entries. Taken in my back yard due to my having the
flu for the 2nd year straight on Argust day. The camera used was a Argus V-100 with the
accessory Argus fan flash and 6B flashbulbs. "
PS- They are really thinking "Cool! They put tuna fish on the horned toad!"
