Who has used a Konica Auto S Camera?

Raid,

I sure hope you get your S fixed, someday I want one of those. If it turns out it is stuck at f16, let me know, it will go great with my Hi Matic G stuck at 2.8!

I may have messed up the S somehow. I bought a Konica S2 since the S seems to have damages that are costly to repair. The seller of the S was so kind as to send me back all the money, so reinvested into the S2. I will let you know about the S2 when I get it.

OK, thanks Raid,

Note that on the photoethnography site, the author had found a like new S, and it also had a stuck aperture, she noted that she sent it to Oleg in Russia, I wonder what the outcome was? sounds like extreme measures.

The S3 is what I really want, though I'd like to "collect them all", as the S3 is smaller, supports 800 film speed, and I like the wider 38mm lens. Damn Damn Damn, I missed out on the one G'man sold!

We all lost out on that black S3 for $35 🙂
The S2 has a 45mm lens, by the way.
