Summary

[edit]
Description

The distinguishing feature of this camera is the "markfinder". Rather than the rangefinder found on its younger siblings (the C4 & C44), the Argus 21 sports a viewfinder with a projected frame mask to aid in photo composition and eliminate eye-position error.

Here's an excerpt from an advertisement for the Argus 21:

You'll like the "Markfinder" sighting method, because it shows you a center cross-mark and a guideline border projected right on your subject! You see your subject centered! You see it level! You see it fast!

How could you not buy one?

This handsome camera was manufactured from 1947-52.
