Argus CR-1 Spring 2022

The CR-1 was a solidly built 35mm SLR built in Japan for Argus in the 1960's.
I coupled it with a very fast f:1.4 Ricoh 55mm lens and loaded it with out of date Fujicolor 200 film, which I rated at 50 ASA in anticipation of my recipe for Caffenol developing.
Subjects were in my backyard, front yard, kitchen, living room, and bedroom.
The Elf and Gremlin Village is still in cold season storage on a high shelf in the bedroom.

Camera was well behaved and felt good in my hands. Meter is unresponsive so I referred to a hand held Gossen Pilot exposure meter. All shots were hand held including low light scenes, some were exposed with the lens wide open.

My transparency scanner did not like that old out of date Fuji a lot and I teased some of the images out of the filmstrip.
Caffenol treats all films as monochrome. I add the sepia tone in software because I like it.
