Great seller. Quick response to messages. Fast shipping. Item was as described other than it said it included a case, but item arrived without a case.

    Superb 35mm compact rangefinder with an outstanding lens

    The Konica Auto S3 compact 35mm coupled-rangefinder camera features a tack-sharp 38mm f1.8 lens, a quiet leaf-shutter, shutter-priority automatic exposure and an innovative Guide Number (GN) automatic flash system balancing ambient light. In my view the Konica Auto S3 is the standout compact rangefinder of the 1970’s: small, light and capable. The Auto S3 provides amazingly high performance from a 6-Element, 4-Group lens acclaimed by Modern Photography as, "one of the best semi-wide angle optics of its speed we have ever tested". The Auto S3 epitomized Konica’s advertising claim from the ‘50’s that proudly proclaimed “…the lens alone is worth the price”. Introduced in 1973, the Auto S3 was finished in a sleek black anodized aluminum chassis coupled with classic, clean ...

    Konica Auto S3 with Close-up Filter

    I have several compact film cameras of this kind, such as Minolta 7SII, Olympus 35RD, Yashica Electral CCN, etc... Before owning Konica S3, I don't know why this camera alway being high regarded and high price in eBay when comparing it's configurations with other members of the same league. After taking two rolls of film with this camera, I like it very much. The lens of Konica S3 is special, it creates rich color and high clarity images. Another amazing thing is the Close-up Filter for Konica S3, it can use on my Minolta 7SII and Olympus 35RD with accurate focusing and great results - very sharp and more vivid color of the pictures is obtained by using the close-up filter. The Filter is a gem.

    Rare 60s-70s rangefinder gem. Compact. Great flash sync. A must have.

    Quite possibly the best rangefinder camera of its era, I would compare it in greatness to the Canonet QL17 GIII. Although the Canonet is fully manual, the Konica Auto S3 is slightly smaller in size & weight. Beautiful images from this lens. The flash sync system is one of the most interesting I've seen, and yields ideal exposures. If only it had a true manual aperture mode (the only downside). If you're a Rollei 35 type of person, add one of these to your arsenal and you will not regret it. Very rare, so it has great resale value.

    It cost me $150 to know that I'm not a rangefinder type of guy.

    I love how this Konica was so compact. The shutter speed priority was awesome! It was actually easy to use. It worked for a month and a half, but the light meter died a week ago. I used it rigorously. I used up 7 rolls of film with this Konica. Thanks to this camera, I figured out that I'm not a rangefinder type of guy. Still, I enjoyed using it.

    A lot of photographic prowess with a minimum of price makes for a great value.

    Issues as described are minor if you run a whole roll. Handling and quality are plusses with this lens. Considered the Poor Man's leica, it handles like a CL collaboration with Leica and minolta at a fraction of the cost. If you use a normal lens most of the time, this camera will deliver without draining your pocketbook.
