Hello All, I recently acquired two Konica rangefinders in good condition. An Auto S2 & a "S"(not auto). I've been able to find lots of info on the S2, but not the S. It has a Hexanon 48mm f1.8 lens. Does anyone know this camera. Any info will help.

Thanks, Akkorn
 
I have one... otherwise labeled as a Ward 550. What do you want to know?
 
The Konica S link from photo.net that Kim hasreferred to, is a Hexar 48mm f2.8, my Ward am550, that is other wise an Auto S, is Hexar 47mm f1.9 so we're probably looking at something a little different. The other Japanese links that Kim posted, are also referring to a Hexanon 48mm F2.

Can you post a picture of it Akkorn? Or take a look at the 3rd link Kim posted and see which one comes closest.

Its identical to the 48mm f2 camera, except that the lens is definately a 1.8. Are these good lens for sharpness & contrast? I like the feel of the camera & the viewfinder. I'll post a photo this weekend.
