I have read the link and by their own admission Argon is rare, whereas Nitrogen is with us in the atmosphere in substantial quantities, hence, presumably, easily extracted.

Minox do not adequately explain the benefits of Argon to convince me that the use of it is worthwhile, or the effort and expense of producing it justified!

In fact I am more likely to avoid them for being so wasteful in using a scarce resouce unnecessarily!

Anyone had problems with Nitrogen-filled bins?
