... at least at close quarters. For larger range, it doesn't matter; zone focusing is good enough.
From what I read, it is possible to open the little round lid on the top of the body that gives access to the ranging adjustment screws, but I think I'll just leave it as it is, as the adjustment appears to be non-trivial to a high degree..
So, in summary:
- The times are more or less accurate
- There is no light leak
- The rangefinder works and is reasonably accurate where it counts most (between 90 cm and 2 metres)
- There is no haze in the lens
Which means: this is as good as it gets in terms of sharpness, contrast and colour rendering, at least for my specimen of an Argus C3 and Cintar lens.
The next test will be one using slow B&W film, which likely is closest to the material that camera was originally designed to work with.
