Guide no. for old Argus flahs

greenspun.com : LUSENET : B&W Photo - Film & Processing : One Thread

I picked up an old Argus 40 at a rummage sale, w/o a manual, and I found a flash gun somewhere else. Does anyone have any suggestions what the guide no. would be? I've been guessing on exposures, w/ hit and miss results. Thanks in advance

Hi David, the shutter speed is between 1/45 and 1/60 and the fixed apeture is f11. I've only used the flash a few times as my flashbulb collection is getting low and thier getting harder to find. I would not expect a very high GN number.
