I realize that Argus cameras were not in the league of our beloved Leicas (I
have two), but would someone  please comment on the quality, functionality, 
and
lenses of the better Argus cameras.

It's not an answer to your question but I've heard the Argus C3 
affectionatley called "the brick." They're so cheap I've considered buying a 
bunch of them and using them as bricks. You know, make a wall of them with 
mortar and all . . . Ok, so maybe I have a weird sense of humor . . .
