I had an Auto S3 for a while -- a beautiful camera and lens, though
it feels just a bit flimsier overall than a Canonet GIII, for example.
The S3 doesn't have TTL flash, but it does have a unique flash
feature to rangefinders of that era. Like most '70s rangefinders, it
uses guide number flash
Thanks Paul For your response on the Konica Auto S2...

It is bigger than the S3, otherwise they are simular.

I have a couple of Minolta 7sII's, and these meter fine with 1.5 v
batteries. They are the same size as the Konicas. The shutter has a
lighter spring than the Canons so they are a bit easier to hand hold at
very low shutter speeds. The viewfinder is not nearly as good as the
Canon though.

It's so tiny, but with a wonderful lens- and it happily accepts an
alkaline battery for the meter.
