Notes & History

Fun Facts

The C-Twenty has a very distinct, almost hodgepodge look. It features a sturdy brown Bakelite plastic body paired with a brushed aluminum faceplate. Camera historians often note that the camera feels like it was designed using leftover parts Argus had lying around the factory. It resembles lower-end models like the Kodak Pony more than it does the sophisticated rangefinders of the era.
