The Argus C3 was a low-priced rangefinder camera mass-produced from 1939 to 1966 by Argus. It used a simple diaphragm shutter built into the camera body to change lenses without a focal plane shutter. The rangefinder used a separate viewfinder from the regular viewfinder, and was coupled to the lens through some gears that were located on the outside of the camera body.
