 | Argus: Argus C4 R | 1958 | 1608414520 | January 2013 | This camera in in nearly mint condition with only three minuscule scratches near the hot shoe from mounting a flash. Everything works; the film advance is smooth and the shutter release is clean. The aluminum body is lustrous with no pitting or corrosion whatsoever. There is a descrepancy between my camera and the image supplied by the site in that my 50mm f2.8 Cintar lens is the old style version with two knurled rings on the lens, one for aperture and the other for focus. The camera came with only its bottom half of the leather case but that is also in excellend condition. The C4 R looks like a B&H Foton wannabe when I put them side by side. They occupied different price points with the Foton at the extreme highend of all rangefinders and the C4 R at a much lower price point albeit still higher price than the ubiquitous C3 which was still going strong. The next step is to conduct a shootout between the C4 R and the Foton with some field photography! | |

 | Bell & Howell: Foton | 1948 | 721123 | August 2012 | The camera came in a leather case specifically designed for it. Opening the case was like opening a time capsule. The camera was in excellent condition and even included a Kodak series VI filter in the B&H sunshade like the picture.There was even a roll of Ektachrome X film dated May 1971 in the camera. Also included was a light meter which was apparently the model of choice for this camera since the chain strap fit into a special compartment in the lid of the case. Finally, there were two lens caps which were not particularly good fits for either the lens or the sunshade. There were as little as 500 Foton's sold in the late '40's not only because of it's high intro price of $700 but also because the launch of Polaroid lured early adopters into instant photography who otherwise might have bought this motor drive camera. The aluminum body is lustrous and high tech looking in an art deco way. The lens is spotless. I will take photos of the camera to post. | |

 | Canon: Canon IIIA | 1951-1953 | 71098 | September 2013 | This was a premium price paid for a very collectible camera in excellent cosmetic and mechanical condition. I would say a 9 out of 10 conservatively. There are no nicks or scratches only a few surface scuffs on bottom plate. Leatherette is intact with no blemishes. The lens is completely clean and fungus free. All lettering is complete and very legible. The metal lens cap shows an indent. Film take up spool is in the camera body. $299 in 2023 | |

 | Ihagee: Exakta VX 500 | 1969 | 356478 | March 2008 | This camera appears absolutely mint and works flawlessly. The leather case is made from thick cowhide that is totally unblemished and still reeks of the tannery. Oh, the joys of living in the workers' paradise where one could aspire to get one of these fine cameras for a mere 6 months work. After 30 years of work one could even get a car! I doubt that this camera was ever used. After all, what scenery worth shooting wasn't off limits, and as for people as subjects, the guards frowned on photo bombing fellow gulag inmates. | |
