Using the interchangeable lenses on the Argus, made using interchangeable lenses on Kodak Retina IIc and IIIc cameras look simple. Well that's not exactly true changing lenses on the Retinas was a relative snap, using them was something of a PITA. Changeing lenses on the Argus was a major PITA, using them was a somewhat smalle3r PITA.

I think they made three lenses for it.

Mine was made of bakelight and was black with chrome and faux leather trim. It 
looked just like this:

The C3 has slightly better optical qualities, and is a little sturdier, without 
weighing much more.
