The rice, however, is not decorative. It's 100% nutritive.

It never occurred to me to use heavy fabric instead of leather. Is that part of a metal hinge there on the front? That's a darn impressive Argus C2.

I usually call it an Argus C2 3/4.There is a Alpex "telephoto" auxiliary lens attached, which Ithink converts it to roughly 70mm. You are seeing correctly, the finder is hold on by masking tape. There is no accessory shoe.The "gem" of the collection, however, is the flash handle. This is converted from the remains of a Ninoka nk-700 (with Optical Glass Lens!), a toilet paper tube, some scotch tape, speaker wire, 2 screws, and about a cup of rice.That right, rice. It provides weight, but its also nutrition and gluten free!For my next trick, I will find a way to mount the Ninoka Optical Glass Lens on the C2 3/4. Wait and see.Jason Let me start out by saying that this is technically not an Argus C3.
