Argus C4 - C44 Auxiliary Lenses Survey

The Argus Collectors Group is conducting a survey to identify the attributes of the main auxiliary lenses made for C4/C4R and C44/C44R cameras. The purpose of the survey is to document changes in features of the lensesover their production life. The results will be posted on the ACG web site.

If you have any of the following lenses, please enter information about them below. If you don't have a given lens, just leave the information blank.

Directions: Have your lenses handy, then proceed by answering each question, either filling in the blank space below the question (like serial numbers), or clicking on the dot to the left of the correct answer to select it. When you are done, click the 'Submit' button at the bottom of the form to send us the information.

If any of the features of your lenses don't match the choices provided, please describe them in the 'comments' section.

NOTE: The serial number is required with all lens entries. If you don't have the serial number, please skip that lens.
