Lens Accessory Kit for Argus AF
(SAFFO) Part No. SAF-8 Original Cost $5.00
Complete Kit for Model AF only. (Same as the standard Lens Accessory Kit but
without the portrait and copy lenses but including the red filter and safety screw instead.)
Red Filter
(FILRED) Part No. S-9 Original Cost $1.50
The red filter excludes practically all the color spectrum except red, thus reducing
haze in aerial and distant landscape shots to a minimum. It lends a decided dramatic
quality to many types of scenes and gives the much desired dark sky effect with
panchromatic film. It is absolutely necessary that the red filter be used with infra-red
film. Interesting moonlight effects in daylight shots can then be obtained. Use of red
filter requires five times normal exposure time with either panchromatic or infra-red film.
This filter cannot be used with orthochromatic or other non-red sensitive films.
Approximates a Wratten #25/Wratten A filter.
Kodak Series V Adapter Ring 15/16in - 23.5mm
This adapter allows the use of Series V filters with the post-war A2B and the
Argus FA. The variety of Series V filters, for both color and black and white use, makes
this a particularly useful accessory. This filter holder can be adapted for use with pre-war
Argus cameras by modifying an old Argus filter, as described in Chapter 8, or by bending
the aluminum tabs until they properly grip the Lens Assembly.
Carrying Cases
Carrying cases for the Argus A cameras are commonly found in very poor
condition because they are made out of leather and about sixty years old. The author has
seen examples of cases for every camera except the Argus FA. Cases with oval fronts are
for use with the pre-war A2B and the A2F, which have the bulky Shutter Plunger, and
some cases have holes for the Flash Synch Tubes on the Argus AA. In general, if a case
is found in good condition, it should not be used.
Remember that the Shutter and Neck should be in the storage position when the
camera case is closed.
