The Konica Auto S was the second camera I bought when getting back into film photography. I settled on this camera because of the examples I found online. The lens is very impressive. I do have to say that the camera and this film roll fought me from start to finish so this month's examples aren't the best but that's the name of the game with old cameras.
The top shutter speed on this camera is 1/500. The Hexanon lens is very capable with a max aperture of 1.8. The battery is only required to operate the meter and auto mode. It can be used as a fully manual camera if desired. I decided to let the camera make the decisions this month--so I used the camera in shutter priority mode.
Overall, I really like this camera when it's working properly. It's easy to focus and the aperture selection is clearly visible in the viewfinder.
