Argus sold over 300,000 Argus C4 35mm rangefinder cameras in the 1950s. It had one of the best implementations of a viewfinder with superimposed rangefinder, an easy film load concept and a hot shoe for attaching and connecting a flash without cable. It had a modern design, but no interchangeable lenses. But the Geiss company of Chicago customized C4 cameras for interchangeable lenses which were made by Enna in Munich, Germany.
