I didn't need another camera. Stopped into my favourite salvage store and found this one with a $10 price tag. Has original leather cover to boot. I was checking it out and when I opened up the back I discovered it contained a roll of film (pictured). Bonus! I shut the back quickly, fearing I had ruined what might be there. I bought it. Later I realized it was an unexposed spooled roll of 620 film, Kodacolor-X, which I learned was discontinued in 1974. So I shot it, intentionally looking for a variety of colours and light.
I had it processed by Blue Moon Camera and they were able to salvage (print) six of the twelve frames. I may try scanning the negatives myself to see if I can bring something out of the remaining frames. The results will follow, along with some digital "enhancements" of some of the images. Most of the colour is gone, except for a faded blue. I am not disappointed, the results are very interesting. Fiftyish year old film.
Shot here with the iPhone.

If you hadn't seen this picture, you probably wouldn't have believed me if I told you I had a camera that could be confused with a feminine hygiene product.
The Lady Carefree is a plastic camera for 126 film cartridges. It wasn't actually made by Argus, but for Argus, by Balda-Werke (Germany) around 1967.
A similar Argus model, the 260, was apparently built for Argus by Mamiya in Japan.
Maybe this one was too?
Test roll soon...
Thank you to all who take the time to comment etc...It is appreciated..

Deze Argusmast staat midden op de Zandmotor. Hij houdt de ontwikkelingen nauwkeurig in de gaten.
In de verte de hijskranen van het nieuwe Kijkduin.
De aanleg van de Zandmotor is begonnen in 2011. Het lijkt een succes. Het zand heeft zich sinds de aanleg geleidelijk noord- en zuidwaarts verspreid onder invloed van wind, golven en stroming. Hierdoor is het gebied steeds meer gaan lijken op de dynamische kustnatuur zoals we die kennen van de Waddeneilanden. Diverse planten, vogels en andere dieren hebben zich in het nieuwe, aantrekkelijke kustlandschap genesteld. Het gebied heeft ook grote recreatieve waarde voor natuurliefhebbers en actieve sporters. De Zandmotor biedt voor zowel mens als dier een plek van rust en ruimte.
Afgelopen maanden zijn aan de noord en zuidkant van de motor twee duinenrijen aangelegd om te controleren hoe die zich gedragen bij storm(vloed). De wetenschappelijke begeleiding staat niet stil.
Al met al is een wandeling op dit gebied een bijzondere ervaring. Soms lijkt het alsof je op de wadden bent en op sommige stukken waan je je op de Maan of op Mars.

Toujours aussi beau et photogénique ce petit Argus bleu, mais le plus extraordinaire c'est son cycle de vie.!
Après avoir pendu ses oeufs et l'éclosion de ces derniers, les larves se nourrissent de la plante hôte puis se laissent tomber par terre sur le chemin des fourmis, qui les prennent pour des leurs, les amènent dans la fourmilière et les nourrissent copieusement.!
Mais le jour J quand le papillon sort de sa chrysalide et doit sortir de la fourmilière à l'air libre, il a intérêt à faire vite avant que les fourmis ne s'aperçoivent de la supercherie.!
Sinon il finira au menu du jour.
Always so beautiful and photogenic this little blue Argus, but the most extraordinary is its life cycle!
After hanging eggs and hatching, the larvae feed on the host plant and then fall to the ground on the path of ants, which take them for their own, bring them into the anthill and feed them copiously. !
But on D-day when the butterfly comes out of its chrysalis and has to get out of the anthill in the open air, it is better to do it quickly before the ants can see the trickery!
Otherwise it will end at the menu of the day.
The silver-studded blue (Plebejus argus) is a butterfly in the family Lycaenidae. It occurs throughout the Palearctic ecozone.

adj. *Argus-eyed:
1. carefully observant or attentive; on the lookout for possible danger
2. having very keen vision
