S3 is significantly smaller, and 54% of the weight of the S2 - that would
sway my opinion. You might also find S3 referred to as C35FD, but in that
case the manual might be in Japanese.

Subject: [OM] Konica Auto S3, was: 90/2
I tried to find an on-line manual for the Konica Auto S3 to find out what's
so special about it. But I only found one for the S2. What's the
difference and why so coveted?
