Geiss Modified C4 at Transportation Museum 120415

In the 1950's you could send your Argus C4 in to Geiss America and they would modify it with their special mount to convert it into an interchangeable lens system.
I acquired this example recently.
After cleaning and bench testing I loaded it with a roll of Fuji 200 and took it, along with the Cintar 50mm lens it came with and a Geiss Lithagon wide angle lens, to the Museum of Transportation.
Both lenses were used. The 50mm lens did great as expected. But I thought the 35mm Lithagon was somewhat soft in the edges of the images, images 5 through 9.
