Film Compatibility: Uses standard 35mm film, which can be developed using common processing methods. User Experience: The Konica Auto S1.6 combines simple operation with high optical performance, making it particularly suitable for street photography and snapshots. Film camera enthusiasts will appreciate its attractive design and features that allow them to experience the camera technology of its era. ————————————————————————————————————————————– Condition: ・Body: Shows minimal signs of use; no noticeable scratches or dents. In very good condition. ・Lens & Viewfinder: Clear, with only very slight signs of fungus. The effect is minimal, and there are no significant issues with image quality. ・Helicoid: Operates normally. ・Viewfinder: Changes in double image have been confirmed. ・Optical System: No issues found (under strong light, very faint traces of fungus are barely visible). ・Battery Compartment: No corrosion or leaks. ・Light Meter: Confirmed to work, but accuracy is unknown. ・Shutter Speed: Changes have been confirmed, but accuracy is unknown. ・Aperture Blades: Manual operation is without issues; no oil residue has been noted. ・EE Function: The accuracy of the shutter speed priority auto aperture (EE function) is unknown; however, if the exposure is under or over during EE shooting, the shutter will not release. This function is designed to prevent misshots. Please ensure the EE function is enabled during shooting. ————————————————————————————————————————————– Tested: Confirmed to function properly, with all features working normally. Please refer to the photos and videos for details (testing with measuring instruments has not been conducted).Accessories: None (please refer to photos and descriptions for details). Important Information for Buyers: The above condition is based on my subjective assessment. Please carefully check the photos and videos. All items shown in the photos are included in the package, but batteries and other accessories used for testing are not included. The product color may differ depending on monitor settings, so please check the photos for details. Notes: While using the EE mode (shutter speed priority and auto aperture mode), if automatic exposure is not appropriate, the shutter will not release. This function is designed to prevent underexposed or overexposed photos. If the shutter does not release, it may not be a malfunction but rather this feature being active, so first check to disable the EE mode or adjust the shooting environment. Please note that this camera is over 40 years old, so the accuracy of the shutter speed priority and auto aperture mode is unknown. To avoid wasting film, it is recommended to use an additional light meter for shooting. Long-term Storage Recommendations: ・Use up film as much as possible and remove it easily for storage when not in use. ・Operate the camera regularly and perform maintenance. ・Remove the battery when not in use to prevent leaks. ・Store the lens and film compartment in a clean, well-ventilated place and maintain their condition. Dust in the film compartment should be removed with a blower, and the exterior should be wiped with a soft cloth to remove oil and dirt before storage. ・When using the camera after long-term storage, clean the exterior and remove dust from the film compartment with a blower before inserting the film. Disclaimer: The instruction manual is not included, so please obtain it yourself and handle the camera appropriately. I cannot be held responsible for malfunctions or damage due to improper use not covered in the manual. ————————————————————————————————————————————– Long-Term Storage Recommendations:Always remove film during storage. Regularly operate the camera and perform maintenance.When not in use, keep the lens cap on to prevent light exposure. Maintain the lens and film chamber in a well-ventilated, clean area to preserve good condition over time.————————————————————————————————————————————– Product Reference Information: Currently, mercury batteries compatible with this product are unavailable. For proper use, please obtain a Kanto Camera Service MR-9 battery conversion adapter from Amazon or similar sources. This conversion adapter contains an internal electronic circuit that converts the substitute battery SR43 to the appearance of the MR-9 battery while also converting the SR43 voltage from 1.55V to approximately 1.35V. This allows for output at a voltage closer to that of the mercury battery MR-9, enabling more accurate operation of the camera. (Kanto Camera Service offers two types of MR-9 battery adapters: conversion and non-conversion types. The non-conversion type comes in a set of two, but please note that it may not necessarily be the best value.) If you have difficulty obtaining the adapter, please contact us before purchasing. If it is available at our store, we can sell it at cost. However, please note that we do not keep stock of the adapter. ————————————————————————————————————————————– About 35mm Film The recommended film for this product is “color negative film.” The product names of the films may vary depending on the manufacturer, so please check the specifications before purchasing. Below is some reference information explaining why color negative film is recommended. If you’re interested, please take a look. Comparison of “Color Negative Film” and “Color Reversal Film (Positive Film)” Each has its own unique features, and the choice depends on the purpose and intended use. Below are the characteristics, advantages, and disadvantages of each. 1. Color Negative FilmCharacteristics ・Produces a negative image, which is reversed to create a positive print during development.・Widely used for both amateur and professional purposes.・Color reproduction is relatively flexible and can be corrected during development.Advantages ・Wide Dynamic Range: Captures a balanced image from bright to dark areas, offering a wide exposure latitude, which reduces the chance of exposure errors.・Relatively Low Development Costs: Many labs can process negative film, making it cost-effective and easy to print.・High Versatility: Widely supported by photo labs, making it easy to develop the film.Disadvantages ・Digitizing Requires Effort: Scanning requires converting the negative into a positive image, relying on the quality of the scanner and software.・Inconsistent Color Reproduction: The final colors may not match your expectations, as they depend on the quality of development and printing. 2. Color Reversal Film (Positive Film)Characteristics ・Produces a positive image, which can be used directly for slides or projection after development.・Known for vivid and accurate color reproduction, often used for professional or exhibition purposes.Advantages ・High Color Accuracy: Offers vivid and accurate color tones, making it ideal for landscape photography or art projects.・Clear Rendering: Delivers high contrast and sharp details.・Enjoyable as a Film: Can be directly viewed using a slide projector.Disadvantages ・Sensitive to Exposure: With a narrower dynamic range, exposure errors are more visible, requiring precise settings.・Higher Development Costs: The specialized process required for reversal film makes it more expensive, and fewer labs can handle it.・Harder to Find: Due to decreased demand, the selection and availability may be limited. SummaryColor negative film is widely used by both beginners and advanced photographers due to its wide exposure latitude and low cost. It is suitable for everyday shooting as well as commercial photography, offering great versatility. On the other hand, color reversal film is known for its vibrant color reproduction and high detail, making it ideal for professional use and artistic works. However, it is more challenging to handle, and the risk of exposure mistakes is higher, requiring careful operation. In particular, accurate exposure and shutter speed settings are crucial, so cameras that allow fine adjustments are recommended. ————————————————————————————————————————————– Recycling Information:・Follow local regulations for proper disposal and recycling of the product and batteries.

Regarding Value Added Tax (VAT): ・ The VAT rate varies depending on the buyer’s country of residence.・ This should not be confused with import duties.・ This is the policy of the buyer’s country and is the responsibility of the buyer. Sellers are not involved. About IOSS (Import One Stop Shop): ・ Instead of the shipping carrier, online marketplaces that sell goods (including eBay) collect VAT on behalf of the seller.・ In EU member states, purchases under 150 euros are subject to this.・ However, for purchases made in currencies other than the Euro or from countries outside the EU, there may be differences in the amount of VAT collected by the intermediary, so please contact eBay Customer Service. Regarding double taxation: ・ We take care to avoid double taxation, but occasionally it may occur.・ Causes may include the shipping carrier not recognizing that VAT has already been collected, the IOSS number not being entered on the shipping label (communicated electronically), errors by the shipping carrier, or discrepancies in exchange rate calculations.・ In such cases, buyers should first contact eBay Customer Service in their own country. If support is needed, please feel free to contact us. ————————————————————————————————————————————– Cancellations & Returns: ・We do not accept order cancellations after the product has been shipped.

However, if there is a risk of damage or any issues during the return, we kindly request that you take appropriate precautions.
