**I'm** not knocking them at all...I am responding to the little
love-hate notes Roberta wrote about the Argus on the back of some of her
prints. Very little of her photography was done in 35 mm, so I suppose
she was merely venting. I was being tongue in cheek, since some of the
list members know about these notes. My older brother Steve used an
older Argus from 1959 through the early seventies with outstanding
results before getting his first SLR. Too bad he wasted film on
aircraft, his girlfriends and family instead of Pittsburgh PCCs... ;-)
