Tuve la oportunidad de conseguir esta joyita telemétrica a estrenar, por menos de u$s 100. La persona que me la vendió comento que estuvo siempre en exhibición en un comercio y nunca fue usada. Ahora me toca aprender a usarla y sacarle provecho, las primeras tomas de prueba me dejaron muy contento.
La Konica Auto S es la predecesora de sus hermanas S2 y S3, parece que se fabrico desde 1963 a 1965.
No hago comentarios técnicos ya que estos se pueden encontrar con facilidad en la web y realizados por personas con mucha mas conocimientos que los míos.

Race cars and drivers after the Auto Club 400 at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana California. Both vehicles and drivers tired after 400 miles of racing.
This is a pentax manual lens. If you own one of the pentax DSLRs you know that the crippled KAF2 mount is incapable of reading the aperture setting and there are stupid little retarded methods of manual mode to barely let you use the lenses (so they can advertise that you can, but only *sort of*)
Being an engineering student, I naturally decided to take matters into my own hands. I don't have the money for auto lenses, especially not these nice pentax-m ones such as the 200mm f4 and the 50mm f1.4
Luckily, I few dremels later and I have converted my lenses to auto diaphragm! It really shouldn't be this easy.
And in all seriousness, what do you have to lose? If you mess up, its still just a manual lens.
The recessed pin presents problems. I don't have a machine shop and I cannot load in a spring loaded piston to reach it. This is the weak point of my dremel-tool workshop. A bif of steel wool hot glued in works for now. I wouldn't want to get it wet though.
And if drilling your lenses out makes you cringe, you can always put little pieces of scotch tape on the rim instead of holes. Its just an electrical contact, and the tape worked pretty well. Of course, you'll still have to deal with the nasty pin-3.

Why build an automotive museum? Because one way or another, our lives are touched by the automobile. We remember our parents’ cars, the ones we traveled in with family, the ones we borrowed for our first car date, the first ones we bought. The fast cars, the junkers, the modified ones and the ones we rebuilt—all of them are tied to us in memory. We even dream of cars.
William E. Backer, former owner of Backer Potato Chip Company in Fulton, Missouri, looked back in time and found that a vintage automobile was a thing of fascination. His memories were of old country roads and two lane highways. Bill Backer was an engineer and a builder who loved to tinker. Having built a successful potato chip company, he looked back at the cars that were part of his childhood. Shortly after, he owned a Canadian 1924 Dodge Touring. Dark blue with black fenders and a cloth top. Bill drove his family around the back country roads of Callaway County, Missouri and felt himself touching fading memories.
Not long after he collected the Dodge, Bill had a 1909 Ford Model T. Soon after that, a 1930 Model A. Then a 1929 Cord, a 1931 Rolls Royce Phantom II, a 1957 Chevy Bel Air, and so on. By the mid 1990’s, the number of classic autos in the collection neared 100. Bill found a home for many of his classic cars in an old retail building in Fulton. The Auto World Museum Foundation was formed and a classic car museum was opened to the public. Ten years later, in 2006, the automobile museum was moved to its current home at 200 Peacock Drive in Fulton. It is a building dedicated to the history of vintage and modern automobiles as well as the history of Callaway County and Fulton, Missouri.
After his passing in 2008, his daughter, Vicki McDaniel, assumed leadership of the museum and the collection of cars. Since then, the collection of vintage autos has changed a little. However, her primary passion is for the presentation of antique cars and modern ones in a place that everyone can visit.
The presentation of cars and staging of the museum is the vision of Tom K. Jones, Artistic Director of TKJ Designs in Fulton, Missouri. His concept for the museum was a movement through time and a portrayal of the history of Callaway County, Missouri. Auto World Museum is a stage—a movement through history. Its deep black curtains, scenes from back when, panels of advertising and memorabilia will take you through a history of motion in time. At first, you will visit a period not that long ago, although some say 100 years is a long time. As you move in a clockwise direction through the museum, you will find enticing displays. The simplicity of family drives in the convertible. The decadence of Hollywood and its fancy cars. The sights and sounds of the drive-in as you watched from the comfort of your Studebaker or Corvair. You will ponder when gas prices were really, really low. Finally, you will find yourself nearing the future, with displays of alternative fuel vehicles.
Auto World Museum will spark your curiosity. We hope that you will find that our collection of vintage and modern automobiles fascinates you the way that it did Bill Backer. We hope you will continue the journey with us as we add to the collection over time. We would like to thank William Harrison for his dedication to the research on the autos in the museum.
Another very successfully Vintage Transport Festival at the East Anglian Railway Museum over the May bank holiday weekend in 2023.
