The first variant of the original, the AF is identical to the Argus A except that the two-position focus Neck was traded for a variable version with a focal length from 15 inches to infinity. This rendered the portrait and copy lens attachments unnecessary and greatly increased the photographic flexibility of the camera. This model only came with the black and brass faceplate.
