Argus A2B at Botanical Garden

Last week on a wintry day I loaded this prewar version Argus Model A2B (uncoated lens) with a roll of Fuji 200 and took it for a brisk walk through the Missouri Botanical Garden in St. Louis.
Yes it was cold. And overcast sky.
I used a combination of slow shutter speed, small aperture, and second click out on the lens barrel to get the DOF needed for the closer shots.
Captures were all hand held and available light.
Last one shows what happens when you take a camera from a cold environment into a warm humid space without giving it time to acclimatize. The lens fogged up before I realized it.

Please click on thumbnails to see enlarged.

Thanks! Ed
