Twin Lens Reflex
Posted on Friday, August 26, 2011 in Photography
Age of old camera?
I have an Argus 75 twin lens reflex camera (with detachable flash). I've looked on eBay, and I have seen similar cameras, but the ones I see there have the words "Seventy Five" on them. Mine has the NUMBER "75" on it.
Is my camera an older or newer model? Anyone??
