The Argus Camera in Popular Culture
In The Philadelphia Story, photographer Elizabeth Imbrie (Ruth Hussey) uses an Argus C3 while on assignment to cover Tracy Lord's wedding for Spy Magazine.
In Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Colin Creevey, the Gryffindor shutterbug, is shown using an Argus C3 with a flash attachment to take wizard photos of Harry Potter. It is shown plainly in a scene in the Great Hall, in the scene in the Hospital Wing where Colin is carried after being Petrified, and at the Quidditch match between Gryffindor and Slytherin while Harry is being chased by the rogue Bludger.
