My dad gave me his Argus C3. It's around here someplace, hiding. He got one he called The Brick.

I posted a thread about a month or so ago called "Good Day for old Leicas". This is the 1952 Leica that my grandfather bought in Germany and gave to my father. In the early seventies, my father taught me how to adjust f/stop and shutter speed. I used this camera when I was in high school doing my own developing and enlarging in a spare bathroom. I recently relocated the camera. Like finding an old friend.

I bought mine used from a gentleman in my photography class, I had so much fun with it. I loved developing my film. I spent an entire semester in the developing lab.
