Filmotype Puritan and Optima in use for an ad for the Konica Auto S. According to camera-wiki.org, this model “is a 35mm coupled rangefinder camera of fairly conventional fixed-lens design made by Konishiroku in 1963. It is the first from Konishiroku to offer auto exposure (shutter preferred) and to have a CdS cell metering system.”

you want:
a camera with a Fully Automatic CdS Electric Eye with dual ranges for the dimmest indoor or brightest outdoor light. Complete Versatility that lets you read the “numbers” you can set manually when desired. Famous Hexanon f1.9 Lens that assures professional quality, outstanding sharpness every shot. Automatic Framing that shows exactly what the picture will be …no more, no less.
… and you don’t want to spend over $100 to get it!
