Ahhhhh :) Suprisingly my first "real" camera (post Kodak Instamatic) was a rangefinder. The camera was the Konica Auto S3. I got it about 20 years ago for my birthday - all my other friends had SLR's of one type or another but my dad thought it would be a good idea to have some "auto" features on the camera.
My dad still has it; including box, instructions and case. To the best of my knowledge, it's still working - I think I'll throw some film into it and give it a go. Small like the Canonet but not as well known.

Ryan, I tried to buy an S3 before acquiring the Canonet. But they're considerably thinner on the ground, and quite a bit more expensive when you do find them. I've heard nothing but good things about them, though. --Mike -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ .
