Argus SLR and Holidays

I won this camera in auction by Zoom with the Argus Fall Ann Arbor Conference.
This was the first model of SLR offered by the company, circa 1962 - 1965. It was built by Mamiya for Argus, and built well, with good features, but minus any built in exposure meter.
This example is in such great condition that it seems like new.
For the Holiday season I loaded it with a roll of Kodak Ultramax 400 film and did what I could without leaving home.
This past weekend I had the opportunity to develop the filmstrip here at home using my recipe for Caffenol chemistry, using common safe household ingredients.
All shots were hand held with available light. Caffenol process treats all films as a monochrome. I add the sepia tone myself after developing.
