The Old Depot

The Texas & Pacific Railroad Depot, built in Baird, Texas in 1911. Now a museum: texasbob.com/travel/tbt_baird_depot.html

 

Camera: Argus A2B, 1939 bakelite camera with Argus Anastigmat f4.5 50mm lens.

Film: 35mm Ilford FP4+ ISO 125

Developing: Kodak D-76

 

I'm pretty sure I had the middle lens of the Cooke triplet reversed after cleaning, accounting for the exceptionally soft corners. The A2B was a simple and inexpensive camera when it was first produced and sold in the USA.
