konica auto s3 lens-problem

[jamniz]

hello everybody, this is my first post at this forum, so first of all i want to say hi to all rangefinder-fans who are meeting at this virtual place, hope anybody can help me with my little problem. about me, i´m 25 years old and from germany, so i wish you could try to post easy written answers, otherwise i´ll sit in front of my computer with a big questionmark on my face. thank you.


i bought a konica auto s3 a few days ago, it´s in wonderful condition, completely functionable and does have a lighttight body. only problem is, that the lens seems to be a bit loosy. are there any screws to fix to solve that problem? could anyone of you specialists tell me, where to attach the optic?

Hi here!
Can't help with real advice, though I remember reading here about this issue, long time ago. Hope someone with knowledge will step on and tell what's with loose lens. I think it's common to S3.

ok, thanks for the hint.
hope the one, who had this problem, will have a look at this topic.
