The C 33 was a very strange 1959 attempt by Argus to modernize the C3, with a combined rangefinder/viewfinder eyepiece and accepting a selenium meter which clipped to the shutter-speed dial.

When compared to competing Japanese cameras then being brought to market, it is hard to avoid the conclusion that Argus had badly lost its way by this time. The Argus Autronic I followed soon after, retaining a similar boxy styling but incorporating the meter and rangefinder coupling within the body.
