Konica Auto S3 Black and Excellent (1974)

Konica Auto S3 was available in black anodized aluminium only. It is a compact 35mm RF camera and it has an excellent six elements, four groups Hexanon 38mm f/1,8 lens. It's viewfinder is very bright and the rangefinder is also classy. As a downside, this camera lacks a manual mode. Auto S3 has a shutter priority battery dependant automatic exposure but the mechanical shutter works without a battery but because the lack of the manual aperture setting you can shoot only using the full aperture.
Another minus is that it has been designed to use PX675 mercury batteries which are no longer available. Luckily you can find an environmentally friendly replacement battery. Read more >>
