Argus V-100 (1958–1959)
A 35mm cartridge-loaded rangefinder camera made by Iloca for Argus during a brief production run in the late 1950s.
Overview
The Argus V-100 is a 35mm rangefinder camera produced under the Argus brand but manufactured by Iloca. It was built to use 35mm film in cartridges, a format aimed at simplifying loading for amateur photographers. The camera was only in production for two years, from 1958 to 1959, suggesting a short market lifespan. Despite its limited run, it represents a transitional moment in 35mm camera design, bridging older mechanical systems with emerging cartridge-based film handling.
