Konica Auto S with Konishiroku Hexanon 47mm F1.9

[ Description ]

The Konica Auto S is a beautifully crafted classic 35mm rangefinder camera, featuring the renowned Konishiroku Hexanon 47mm F1.9 lens.

Produced during the golden era of Japanese film photography, the Auto S combines a traditional rangefinder design with a bright and highly capable Hexanon lens. The 47mm focal length offers a natural perspective that is well suited to everyday photography, street scenes, travel, and portraits.

The fast F1.9 maximum aperture is one of the camera’s most appealing features, providing excellent flexibility in available light and allowing photographers to create attractive subject separation and background blur.

The classic metal construction, tactile controls, and elegant styling give the Konica Auto S a distinctive character that is increasingly rare in modern cameras. The combination of a compact body and a fast fixed lens also makes it an enjoyable camera to carry and use for spontaneous film photography.

For collectors, the camera represents an important period in Konica’s photographic history and showcases the quality of Konishiroku’s renowned Hexanon optics.

A beautiful example of classic Japanese rangefinder design, the Konica Auto S with Hexanon 47mm F1.9 is both a rewarding film camera to use and a fascinating addition to a vintage camera collection.
