Argus C44R with Fast Lens 121519

Wednesday the weather was nasty, so I stayed home and shot film with "Holiday Theme."

First I loaded an Argus C44R (Serial Number 1739220237), mounting a fast f:1.9 / 50mm Cintagon lens (Serial Number 1668484), and old expired ASA 800 film (dated 2009, 08, never frozen) store name brand from Walgreens.
There was some graininess (to be expected with old stock 800 speed film), and some reciprocity failure in low light (I was shooting mostly in the house without flash). But some of the results I thought were interesting enough. Main problem was with framing, since the average C44 finder tends to be rather inaccurate.
I did not use any flash, all was with existing available light.
