Konica Auto S3 - first film

I recently purchased a Konica Auto S3 and now have the first photos. After the Yashica Electro 35 the view finder is much brighter and clearer - about a 200% difference! (maybe the Yashica needs to be cleaned?). Focusing is so easy, you don't have to put your eye in just the right spot to see the split image. The cameras size is amazing - there is no excuse for not carrying this camera. Because the sensor for the light meter is just above the lens you can screw on a yellow filter and take B&W photos without a seconds thought about filter factors. The Hexanon lens looks as though it is performing well - I have not tried taking photos with a tripod yet to see its true worth - hand held looks good so far.
