Here are my 2 submissions for Argust 5th.
They were taken at the Corpus Christi
Botanical Gardens. They were taken with a
C-3 standard that I just overhauled. The
Entrance shot was taken with the standard
lens. The shot of the plumerias flowers was
taken with a +3 diopter filter. Fuji film was
used, as was the sunny 16 rule.

Argust 5th dawned with an approaching weather front, more clouds than sun. I had two
Argus cameras packed and ready: a C4 modified with strap lugs, and a chrome top
STL1000 SLR (speed dial on front). I mounted a GAF Auto f:1.9/50mm to the STL1000,
with other screwmount lenses in reserve in my bag. The C4 had a roll of Walgreens house
brand ASA 200 film. The STL1000 was loaded with a roll of Konica/Minolta ASA 200.
So I drove into Forest Park in St.Louis to shoot the two cameras side by side. The clouds
held for most of the day, but I got in my shoot because the ground was too dry to allow for
much rain. Differences in pictures from the two cameras were pretty much indiscernible.

Argus 5th....Okay, it is the middle of the

here in the cardiac cath lab. I better start

These are my first entries since I only
recently discovered this interesting "Argust"
site. The photos were taken with my
faithful C-3 using Kodak Royal print film,
ASA 200. The pictures show a set of very
colorful steps at a house in our
neighborhood in Santa Monica; the other
one was taken in a local children's park.

surprised if this was the first
roll of film anyone ever ran
through this camera - it's a
real prize.

I shot these with a C33 35mm lens. This was the first time I had used it and once I was
shooting I notices thr back wasn't totally closed. The film wind did not stop with one lever
stroke. I held my hand over the edge and eventually put tape on it. When I took out the
film I saw there was a pin on the back that had to be placed in the film counter at the right
point to close all the way. Amazingly most of the film was not fogged.

This building is the L&N Rail Station on the
1982 World's Fair site. I finally had to get
in the landscaping to get the shot. It was
starting to rain and there were
thunderstorms all around. Just about the
time I leaned on a tree to get the only
framing I could get, it thundered so loud
that I thought I had been hit.
I used a C2 and Kodak 100 film. I scanned
the images in on a Lexmark X75.

The pup is a rescue miniature dachshund
named Dave "Putt-Putt" Brodie. He was
going to be put down because of a birth
defect in his front legs. We have five mini
doxies now. Three that were rescued, two of
which were on death row. One that was
literally stolen from the animal shelter. At
one time, when a puppy mill shut down, we
had twelve rescues! All
"foster-care-wiener-dogs" have been placed
in homes though the rescue group.

Dear ACG my name is Bob and I'm a network news cameraman for ABC Network News. Last
September my dad past away, and a couple months ago I went back home to go through
some of his things to remember him by. I came across his Argus C3. This camera captured
most of our families life from the late 50's to the mid 70's and means a lot to me. I
started to do some research on it I came across you guys at ACG, and I thought that
joining you all on Argus 5th would be a great way to dust off 30 years of time by bring the
brick out on location. So with C3 in hand we took off to do a story on the Midwest drought.
I had everybody on the crew shoot with the Argus so there will be 6 pictures, two from each
of the photographers.
So here's to the Argus on location.....
Thanks,
Bob Brant

Graham White:
It was me, my wife and my new C3 in Norwich for Argust day! As reported in message #8331
everything on the camera seemed to work perfectly ‘as delivered’ but today was to be the acid test. I
shot off a couple of frames in Sheffield before exposing the remainder of the 24 ex. cassette of ISO
200 Fujifilm Superia print film in Norwich. Sharp and evenly lit from edge to edge the C3 was a
revelation of picture quality. Negatives were scanned with a HP PhotoSmart Scanner and cropped a
little here and there. Image colour and sharpness is that on the negative. I thought that ISO 200
film was too fast often allowing only the use of 300 sec. at f16 or thereabouts, ISO 100 would
perhaps have been better. Exposure settings were made with my trusty Weston Master II meter.
Argussing could become addictive!

in front of that same mission.

These were taken with my C-twenty. Fuji 100 Provia slide film. We returned home from a
three week trip on the evening of August 5th. I got out my C-twenty and took some shots
of star trails that evening. These are the only two Argust photos I took that day. I set the
tripod out in the yard and pointed it over the roof. The yellow glow toward the bottom of #1
isn't a light leak. It's simply a glare from the skylights in our roof. I think the exposure
was about 30 minutes. Photo #2 - I moved the camera to the driveway and pointed it
toward the big dipper. After about 35 minutes I shined a flashlight on the palm plant.

to suprise him. I joined in, and my brother Dennis met us there in Kalispell, MT. Dad was
totally flabbergasted (his words!) Since he was driving cancer patients to treatments
that day, we didn't get out, but on Argust 5th Dad, Doug and I took are three motorcycles
on a ride around and through Glacier National Park, in /\/\onTana! It was a beautiful day,
and the traffic wasn't bad either.

These are my Argust5 pictures. Taken with an Argus/Cosina STL1000 and using Konica
Minolta ASA 200 film from a local dollar store.
I was experimenting with a slightly distressed lens that I had never used before, a Cosinon
F1.8 could have been standard on this camera. This lens seemed to have been stored
with the inner glass protruding, to the point that the glass rubbed on the case, or
something. The center coating of the lens seemed to have been abused a little. The
pictures seemed to have a loss of focus and detail in the center, so I guess the lens is not
so good.

For my shots, I went to local car show where

caught in the "three car" shot.

My Argust 5th photographs were taken with my Argus C-4, s/n 0289413. I purchased this
last September at a local yard sale in my subdivision. What a treasure it is just to hold
this example of American craftmanship and know that at one time we did have the skill to
lead the world with a quality camera affordable for the people. The C-4 did it all, what I
did was wait point and shoot. The rule of 100 I learned from the ACG was what I used with
an "f" stop setting of 16 for bright sun to 11 for clouded bright sky. I look forward to more
picture taking as time goes by using my A2F, C-3, A-4, C-44 and several other models
that have "hooked" me on the Argus line.

Water fall is the end of the Spray Canal
which supplied power to a grain mill in 1834
and then later to textile mills which began to
move here in 1890s. Canal now generates
electrical power sold to Duke Power
Company. Local industrial history has this
as the place where James Turner Morehead
discovered aluminum chloride by dropping
chemicals into the canal, leading to the
foundation of the Union Carbide Corp. The
gas was then used for carbide lamps for
coal miners, etc.

Rock wall is foundation of the grain mill and
a later textile mill as well. It is an America
Stonehenge, a place where we worshipped
the industrial revolution and power of this
country by work. Produced wool blankets
used by soldiers in both World Wars. Mill
torn down about 15+ years ago.
Argoflex E, pre war model c.1941 by serial

"Argust Fifth was in the middle of my deployment to Iraq. I used an untested pre-war
Argus A2B that I got from eB@y with Kodak Professional T400 CN film (B&W film for C-41
processing). Both pictures were taken at f/8 for 1/200th sec. The first picture is an old
Iraqi jeep that was used as a target on a rifle range. The second picture is a U.S. Army
street sign right next to an Iraqi sign announcing the headquarters on an airbase. The
Army forcibly occupied the airbase after the invasion."
