Argus CC at Sculpture Park, with Caffenol

The Argus CC along with its sibling the A3 were the peak of Argus 35mm camera development in 1941 before the wartime shift in production priorities.

The CC came with an attached selenium solar cell meter on top. I removed the meter on this one, it was broken, and in my opinion puts the whole thing off balance.

Loaded with a roll of Fuji Superia 200 film that came to me via ACG auction it went with me on a walk on the trails at Laumeier Sculpture Park, then I developed the film in my Caffenol safe ingredient recipe.

I already knew this batch of film is problematic for developing and I rated it as ASA 100 when shooting it.
It was still rather underexposed, and I think next roll from the lot will be treated as if ASA 64.

Much of the resulting negative strip was weak and difficult to elicit any good images. Below, see what I was able to salvage.
