I don't know how I got here but you're stuck with me.

I learned everything camera from a newspaper guy in the 70s with a Graflex and Yashika twin. You think the flash wasn't the key? My brother came home from Nam with a 35mm. A magical camera until I bought my first Nikkromat ft2 followed by a Nikon F (and not the power winder that wouldn't "make every shot count"), both of which are still my go-to film cameras. There was magic in the darkroom, the smells and, well, the magic.

I became a Photoshop master. It came easy because I'd learned the hard way in a wet darkroom. My first day on the computer was an "are you kidding me" moment. Click, click, click.

I was somewhat forced to digital. Turnaround, profit margin, instant customer gratification.

I bought a near-perfect Argus C3. In my arsenal is a Polaroid so I understand the focusing.

What I am seeking is insight on how to determine if the Argus is something I want to keep or put on the shelf. My city still has opportunities for film processing. Wow.
