Argus Seventy-Five

The Argus Seventy-Five is a simple, pseudo-TLR camera that was introduced in 1949,  existing under a number of name variations.  The camera produces twelve 6x6cm images on 620 film.  It is referred to as a "pseudo" TLR because the camera does not have reflex focusing... it actually has no focusing at all.  Instead, the Argus Seventy-Five has a brilliant finder for simple composition.  The camera has primitive shutter speed controls, limited only to "Instant" and "Time," the aperture is also fixed.  While 620 film is no longer being produced by major film manufacturers, there are still several sources from people who either modify existing 120 spools, or who respool 120 film and paper onto original 620 spools.  Here at Blue Moon Camera we take the former approach and consistently have a supply of 620 film in Kodak Portra 400, Portra 160, Ilford Delta 400 and Ilford Delta 100.
