I'm often happier with the images from simple cameras than those from some of my more sophisticated models with highly corrected lenses and shutters with a wide range of speeds. The Argoflex Forty has a decent three-element coated lens, but the shutter has a top speed of just 1/150. Focus is by estimation. The camera's big advantage for me is the brilliant finder which gives me a very good idea of what I am actually going to get on the film.

It is enormously satisfying to get the image just right in the camera, especially when shooting with a simple machine.
Your shot of the blue door behind the fence is delightful, the best of this bunch.
Glad you liked the blue door.
I really enjoy shooting the Argoflex Forty. I'll likely use it much more often now that I have the light leak figured out.
