Focusing is done with a lever as on the QL19. It’s a heavy solid camera that has the heft of the K1000. This one is in such great shape that when I got it I just had to throw a roll of film in and start shooting immediately, something I can’t recall doing with most of the others (some of which were not working when I got them, to be sure) except maybe the TL-Super. There was also a later variation called the Auto S 1.6 which as the name implies had a f1.6 Hexanon. It’s not really a compact rangefinder it’s larger and heavier than QL17, in fact it’s as big as the Yashica Electro and more solid to boot. ASA settings (for the meter) are limited to 25-400 however. The aperture settings are infinitely adjustable from f1.8 to f16. It has a fast, sharp, and contrasty 1.8 Hexanon lens with a built-in popup hood for flare reduction (very handy). It can be used in automatic mode or in manual mode, with the battery being used mostly for the meter.
