|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board Argus C3 flash bulbs? Wesley R. Bush, Photographer Murfreesboro | TN | U.S. | Posted: 6:08 PM on 08.04.15 ->> I was given an Argus C3 that I cleaned up and want to shoot with. Does anyone know where I can pick up a flash bulb for this thing? I'm assuming what type of bulb will dictate the film I'll use, but I don't know where to start.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

I'll dedicate my first roll to your name and post some here when I get around to shooting it.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

I'll take a picture of it when I get home.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

The "B" designation meant that the bulb had a blue plastic coating (i.e. daylight balanced) and was designed for color photography. If you're shooting B&W film you can easily use a non-B (clear) bulb which will also give you about a stop more output. You might well be surprised how much light a bulb can put out. This has flash bulbs, even though the instant on music is annoying... http://www.flashbulbs.com  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?
