Re: Happy....
I guess this would be considered cheating - I had to look it up, but: The camera used by Colin Creevey in the film Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is a C3 Matchmatic, identifiable by its unique two-tone finish. The camera used by Gwyneth Paltrow in the film Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow appears to be a C3. I recently acquired an Argus C-3 that has been reconditioned. It's in the box and like new. I haven't shot with it, yet, but plan to.

DEAR SUSAN, I started with a Brownie I got for selling Xmas cards! Then my father gave me his Argus C-3 which I still have in my glass camera case. I shoot with it about once a year! It is great to watch old movies and see the C-3 show up! It stars verily in THE PHILADELPHIA STORY". ******Let's play a game: Who knows what other feature films use an Argus C-3 as a prop? CHEERS!

Hi Susan, My dad used an old argus C3 (new at the time) - the Brick took lots of vacation and family shots. he and mom gave me my first camera for Christmas when I was about 10 - a Brownie Hawkeye.....instead of photographing the family, I went outside and photographed the trees that were covered from an ice storm the night before.

My dad gave me my first camera when I was a teenager... an old Russian 35mm he'd picked up in a pawn shop I think.. No meters, no nothing. It (and he), taught me to judge exposure, and hooked me on photography. Thanks, Dad :o) susan On 6/17/07, Ender100@aol.com <Ender100@aol.com> wrote: Father's Day to all the dads on the list... and to those moms who had to act like dads at time!
