In which there were three boxes on my desk when I rolled into work this morning!

Today was eBay day. It looked like this:

I received two Argus Rangefinder C3 cameras, one made in 1941 and the other in 1962 (they ended up averaging about $11 apiece):

And an entire lot of hard-to-find flash bulbs from an estate sale for a screaming deal:

A damn good day, all in all. I would finish up with something like, “And now I’m going to spend all weekend shooting actual film!,” but I can’t because I don’t have any actual film. Plus one or both of The Bricks will have to be cleaned and tuned before I can actually shoot anything with it. The 1962 Argus is in overall great shape, but the range finder is too filthy to actually see anything through. The 1941 has cleaner optics but everything else is tight and the body probably leaks light. And I ordered the wrong film for my Polaroid, so I can’t even pop a bunch of flash bulbs!
