About

After a decade of corporate turmoil, the Argus brand attempted to revive their fortunes with a series of Instant Load cameras for 126 film, the format made hugely popular by Kodak's line of Instamatics. A later 1970s series denoted by model designations ending in "X" were able to use Magicubes, as a small badge on the camera front indicates. These models from Japan also gained a more "mod" styling language than the earlier, boxy, 126 models provided by Balda in Germany.
