Personal Observations From A Former Argus Employee

摘要

The 50mm f/3.5 Cintar lens used on the brick-like Argus C-3 camera was very similar in optical design to the popular,and quite expensive,Leitz Elmar 50mm f/3.5 lens of that era.If you were able to obtain a perfect example of the Cintar lens,having precisely manufactured elements and optimal spacing shims,the resolution results would match that of the Elmar lens,but since the Cintar was produced to less precise standards at a much lower cost,few of them actually matched the optical quality of the superb Elmar.
