Rangefinder Camera

(redirected from Main.ArgusC3)

A rangefinder camera is a type of camera that is focused by first looking through a rangefinder, which is an optical device that determines the distance from the camera to the object being photographed. In contrast to SLR cameras, they are smaller, quieter, and produce less vibration.

The Argus C3 is a rangefinder camera and was also the best-selling 35mm? camera in the world for nearly three decades, from the late 1930's to the 1960's. It helped to popularize the 35mm format, and has a high quality lens. It was made in Michigan?.

Rangefinders are still being produced, notably by Leica and Contax.
