Konica Auto S3

The Konica Auto S3 is a compact good all-around 35mm camera. With its fast lens, shutter priority and rangefinder, it makes a great everyday carry. It was produced from 1973 to 1977.

For its first roll of film, I am using an SR44 battery. This battery is 1.5v as opposed to the original 1.35v. To compensate, I adjusted the ISO setting to 200.
