Argus Argoflex 75
I haven’t used this one much but it is fully functional. It takes 620 film but I’ve successfully used 120 film in it by cutting and filing down the film spool a bit. It is fixed focus, fixed aperture, with only two shutter settings: Instant and Time. I also have the removable portrait lens for this camera which I haven’t used yet but I’ve been meaning to try it out. It’s supposed to enable the camera to focus at a shorter distance and thus allow close-up shots. The viewfinder is crystal clear but it does take some getting used to that whole mirrored view thing. I have some flash bulbs for it and I haven’t tried those out yet, either. I’m a little afraid it will blow up if I do. And I would hate to blow up this beautiful camera.

you could also use it for Through the Viewfinder stuff… got any digi-cameras?

Good idea, Russ! I do have a digicam but I’ve never attempted that sort of thing. I’ll have to give it a try sometime. Thanks for the suggestion:)
