An Argus A2 35mm, today we might call it a point n' shoot! However this little Argus was plastic, no electronics. A box you put a roll of film in and made a few adjustments according to the piece of paper with the exposure suggestions in the film box. :-) So now you folks know who to blame for launching me into this wild and crazy world of photography! ;-) But man I have absolutely no regrets, other than I wish I could do it all over again ten fold times! :-) ted Regards, Sonny http://www.sonc.com Natchitoches, Louisiana Oldest continuous settlement in La Louisiane ?galit?, libert?, crawfish
