About this product

Product Information

Having a reliable camera choice gives photographers more opportunities to capture a special moment. The Konica Auto S2 35mm Rangefinder camera has a professional, sturdy feel with a weight of 1.6 pounds and several handy features. Produced in Japan in the mid-1960s, it can be set for auto or manual modes.It's equipped with a 1.8 Hexanon lens that contains a convenient pop-up hood to cut down on flare. Another lens can be added to the case after this included lens is removed. The lens removal system ensures quick locking and unlocking. While in use, the system ensures the lens stays in place, even with intense movements. A Copal SVA shutter is designed for precision shots in every type of lighting. With just a push of the camera's trigger, the device rapidly opens to imprint the image. Ranging from 1 to 1/500, its versatile shutter speeds adapt to any moment and lens variation. Among this brand of rangefinder cameras, this speed helps preserve sporting events and fast-paced moments.Greater range highlights this Konica camera and its abilities in the field. For the largest range of f-stops, a special aperture piece has been included. Auto aperture settings can be adjusted from f/1 to f/1.8 to f/16. The Konica camera has a focal range of about three feet to infinity. That means a higher level of depth in each shot. In conjunction with a flash, the photographic possibilities are endless. To introduce auto flash or similar accessories to the camera, use the available mount feature. Set on the top of the camera's casing, it offers a sturdy solution for auto and manual selections.This auto camera is designed to use most standard medium choices for photographers. You can select your choice of 35mm film, from ASA 25 to 400. Other 55mm filters can also be included for special effects. When it's time to load and unload rolls, this camera promotes ease of use. Simply open the backing and place a standard roll of film in its casing. Once inside of the casing, frame movement is a simple process. The Konica quick-wind lever keeps the film wound at just the right level of tension. It also moves unused film into the roll case without an auto assist feature. An added photo viewfinder gives users a preview of a photo before it's taken. This helps lenses reach their potential without turning on the meter. Parallax lines also improve possible shot selection.Photographers who want to be a part of the shot can rely on the Konica self-timer function. This mode produces photography and photos that feature the photographer. Among the line's rangefinders and related cameras, this choice excels. It provides several seconds of time before the photo is taken. Users may also end the self-timer before it goes off to prevent wasted materials or unwanted shots. This Konica camera unit originally operated with a PX625 1.3-volt mercury battery. The energy solution works to power the light meter for extended lighting-adjustment options. Replacement is done through an easy-to-access space on the casing.

  • PERHAPS THE BEST MANUAL FOCUS AUTO EXPOSURE RANGEFINDER

    The Konica Auto S2 is perhaps the best Manual Focus Auto Exposure rangefinder. Reviewers have noticed the unusual sharpness of its Hexanon 45/1.8 lens, but failed to appreciate the exclusive innovations this camera has, alongside other high end features. * What sets this camera above the others in its league is its unique viewfinder * Due to the very difference in metering distance and in showing the subject, rangefinder camera technology has put the viewfinder each camera sports, as the main issue determining the camera quality level In rangefinder cameras the limits of the final image are not the same as the bright yellow frames showing them. The closer and closer is the subject, the bigger and bigger is the gap, called “parallax”. Instead of the Konica unique ...
