The lens mechanical construction of Konica S3 old camera is exactly the same as that of big size format. Nostalgic memories came into my mind while I did disassembling and separating S3 model. Even this small bulk shutter, iris and slow governor including self timer are well designed and incorporated, shutter charging, cocking and releasing are operated perfectly. I highly appreciate the technology and the skill of the engineers at that time. The construction inside is the same as mechanical hand watch with highly sophisticated precision. Not a little abusing regretting was recommended in my mind to have destroyed this kind of Cultural Legacy, on the other hand, the most important part, lens could be survived now by my transplanting procedure and be re-lived again this digital format period.
I found out a important difference on helicoid thread inclination, that of S3 model has more lough thread than S2 model. It meas that less rotating angle create quick focusing method, it will oblige me to change my shooting rhythm at all. I have an experience that Leica M-Summilux 50/1.4 is my most favorite one, second generation in black aluminum barrel, and later silver one with brass case with 39mm mount was sold for a short period. It has quick focusing helicoid, half angular rotation for infinity to 1m adjustment. The change of focusing procedure was not so good but not so bad for me, just not my taste.
I'm afraid that the same story might happen this time after finishing a transplantation.
