SUMMARY
A YouTuber has acquired and tested the Argus Model A, a 35mm film camera from the late 1930s, which served as the inspiration for the fictional camera in the 2024 video game 'Indiana Jones and the Great Circle'. The in-game camera, named Relic, is nearly identical to the real-life Argus Model A, a camera made of Bakelite and aluminum. This 35mm camera, featuring a 50mm collapsible lens, was considered cutting-edge technology during the game's setting and has been described as "the second most important 35mm camera ever made."
