rangefinder 3.5

2019-10-22

It's currently Post Your Name Month on MetaFilter (https://metatalk.metafilter.com/25334...); I found it much easier to draw something related to my username (rangefinder 1.4), so here's a scribble of an Argus C3 "Brick" rangefinder camera for #Inktober. The fastest lens speed is f/3.5, hence the title.

Definitely not to scale/accurate - if I attempt this again, I may try to do better with the proportioning (maybe actually use a ruler or compass for once).

And I have an Argus C3, thanks to the internet! I used to hang out on a rangefinder mailing list a loong time ago - and one of the list subscribers kindly sent me a C3, in its original box with flash bulb, for the cost of shipping.

The C3 is one of the few models that actually say "range finder" on it and I enjoy how nerdy it looks.
