About

This is a simple scale focus camera from the era when Argus had merged with Mansfield Industries. It was concurrent with the Argus Automatic 35 which it somewhat resembles. The A-5 has a slower f/3.5 lens and programmed autoexposure, where the ring around the lens inputs the film speed (ASA 10–200) via code numbers 2–6. There is no other manual exposure control.
