The Argus A2F is a distinctive 35mm scale-focus camera produced by the Argus Corporation from 1939 to 1941. Recognized as the top-of-the-line pre-war model in the Argus A-series, it features a collapsible lens with helical focus ranging from 15 inches to infinity, an uncoated 50mm f/4.5 Anastigmat lens, and a unique extinction meter that assists in calculating exposure without batteries. The camera has four shutter speeds from 1/25 to 1/200 seconds, along with bulb and time settings, and it notably lacks flash synchronization. Its design combines a Bakelite body with an aluminum back adorned in an Art Deco pattern, weighing about 414 grams. The shutter release is a swiveling plunger mounted on the lens, allowing ergonomic shutter actuation from any angle, enhancing versatility. The Argus A2F’s combination of features and its artful design make it a classic, blending functionality and style from the late 1930s era.
