Yeah, the Argus C3?


The Argus C3 is a rangefinder. It only has one lens and no mirror: no twin and no reflex. :)

And it's a brick!!

Eryck, your camera is in the book I mentioned. It says - "The SRT-101 is the most prominent member of a line of Minoltas comprised of such models as the SRT-100..." etc.

"These cameras were Minolta's answer to the heavy-duty, full-featured SLR systems of the seventies, on par with such notables as the Nikkormat, the Canon FTb, the Pentax SP, the Konica Autoreflex and a few others." - Camera Maintenance & Repair, Thomas Tomosy

It goes on to say the SRT-101 and its sister models were built like army tanks. As is my old Ricoh Singlex from the 70's which now has seen better days, but that's mostly due to one run-in too many w/concrete in hockey rinks. I have the Konica mentioned along with an older Canon FT and Pentax KX.

I also had a SRT101 back in the day. Still have a Minolta SR-7, but haven't used it in decades. Both of these Minoltas served me well. I eventually switched to Olympus SLR for slightly nicer lenses. We had a lot more choices back then than today, them wus good times :cheers:
