Argus C44
In response to the Geiss-modified version of the Argus C4 (to allow interchangeable lenses), Argus Camera of Ann Arbor introduced the C44 in 1956.
The formula for the 4-element Tessar-type Cintagon 50/2.8 was computed using an early digital computer built by the University of Michigan called "MIDAC," one of the first in the US midwest (see pg. 16 and 18 of the Sept. 1956 Popular Photography).
