Argus C-200 35mm camera
The Argus C-200 35 is a very fun focus free 35mm camera from the early 1980s. It was sold in other countries with minor cosmetic differences as the Fotorama/Premier PC-500 or Image 35FF .
This camera features an 38mm f4 glass lens (made in Japan); an integrated flash that you can switch on and off; switch for ISO100, 200, and 400 films; and an built-in lens cover.
Battery info
This camera requires two alkaline AA batteries (not included).
Condition notes
The camera was tested with film and a batteries installed (it was not developed however) and it is working correctly. The camera's simple light meter (which says 'OK' if there is enough light or 'NO' if the flash should be used) isn't terribly accurate (it's biased towards overexposure) but should still give good results with colour negative film (which the camera is intended to be used with).
