A still life on my dining room table featuring a pineapple, banana and bell pepper. I didn’t want to get too close, because who knows how close a trashcam like this can focus?

Another Chinese-made clone of the Minolta X-300. I have my doubts as to whether or not this is an official clone. The name plate where "Argus" is located has rounded-off corners to the left and the right of the name. Almost as if somebody had sanded off the original name and painted on Argus instead. Another doubt comes because I have never seen another camera like this anywhere on the internet. Update: A contact of mine found one of these for sale, and it was the whole camera kit - camera, box, manual, etc. I guess that proves it's a legitimate clone. Thanks, Xata!

I've had this camera for about a month. When I bought it off eBay, the seller said it didn't work. I was hoping it was just the notorious "bad capacitor" issue, but it wasn't. It really is broken. But, I mainly bought it for the lens. When I received the camera in the mail - however - the lens was full of fungus or haze, which the seller didn't happen to mention. The seller didn't want to make it good, so I guess I'm stuck with a parts camera. Fortunately, I have two others just like this, if I ever need a part. Caveat emptor.
