Hi Guys,
thanks for all the amazing info here.
I just picked up an Argus 2 off ebay v.cheap.
The trigger switch was broken but apart from that it appears to work well!
It came with a couple of NI-MH batteries/charger but they're both kaput. Hooked up a 12v wall wart for power at the mo.
I have been an total idiot and "cleaned" the lens before reading this thread...
Hence wiped off some AR coating...
There's a faint halo around the image, from my cotton bud wiping, but still works.
My plan it to use this for electronic fault finding, pcb inspection. I'm a sound guy so most the stuff i fix is chunky through hole gear.
How do i change the focus for say 20-30cm approx.? Do i need to buy a different lens or could i just move it? Maybe make an attachment that fits on front, would be cool to keep the current focus for spotting air/sound leaks in studios.
thanks, I have zero clue about optics!
