Description from the seller
Konica Auto S2 with Hexanon 45mm f/1.8, tested and working.
Hello from Japan!
We provide high-quality cameras and lenses to the world.
The Konica Auto S2, from the mid-1960s, is a well-regarded 35mm rangefinder camera with a sharp Hexanon 45mm f/1.8 lens and shutter-priority automatic exposure via a CdS meter. Solidly built with a bright viewfinder, it is a favourite among fixed-lens rangefinder enthusiasts.
Condition: Used — Excellent
Pre-owned, heavy signs of use
Serial Number
Please check the photo.
Appearance
Shows heavy signs of use consistent with age. Please check the photos.
Optical Condition
Lens: The lens and viewfinder have been cleaned internally.
Functional
The camera powers on and the light meter operates correctly.
The rangefinder double image is clear and the focusing is accurate.
The lens and viewfinder have been cleaned internally and the light seals (foam) have been replaced.
Measured Performance
We check these cameras on a shutter tester rather than by ear, and we publish what we measured:
- 1 s — measured 1/0.8 s (approx. 0.3 stop slow)
- 1/60 — measured 1/57 s (approx. 0.1 stop slow)
Negative film has enough latitude to absorb deviations of this size, but the figures are here so you can judge for yourself.
Bundled Items
Only what you can see in the pictures will be included in the package.
Important Notes for Used Items
As this is a used item, subtle imperfections may exist that are not individually described.
Shipping
We ship via either FedEx or Japan Post (ePacket), whichever suits the destination and the parcel. With Japan Post your package is handed over to the local postal carrier in your country for final delivery.
We only ship to registered addresses.
We ship within 3 business days after payment.
Customs and Taxes
Parcels are shipped DDU (Delivered Duty Unpaid): import VAT and any customs duties are collected by customs or the carrier on delivery, in accordance with the rules of the destination country.
Where import taxes have already been collected at checkout — for example under the EU IOSS scheme for orders up to EUR 150 — there is nothing further to pay on delivery.
Import charges vary from country to country, so please check the rules that apply where you live.
We do not under-declare item values or mark items as "gifts."
Returns and Buyer Protection
Handled in accordance with Catawiki's Seller Terms.
