Konica Auto S2 35mm vintage rangefinder camera, with case and strap. In excellent external condition, not tested with film.
This is an unusually clean example of the S2, with only light signs of use. I have not tested it with film, so it's sold as a collectible item rather than a working camera. The metal and plastic surfaces of the camera are clean, rust-free, and with only minor wear. The lens is clean, clear and unscratched, and free of haze and fungus, and the focus b...arrel control moves smoothly. The shutter fires, and the camera winds on, the shutter speeds seem to be accurate by ear, but I have not properly measured them.
The iris doesn't seem to be working, it seems to be stuck on a small aperture, regardless of the aperture ring setting. The self-timer works, as does the flash sync socket. The viewfinder is clean and clear, and the rangefinder works well when the focus is changed. When a battery is installed the meter responds to light, and the battery chamber is clean. The film chamber is clean, though the light seals are sticky and need replacing. The case is in nice condition, with a few marks. As I have not tested it with film, there may be issues not listed above, please be aware of that before buying.
