The Nikon S3 is: a professional level, "interchangeable lens," 35 mm film, rangefinder camera introduced in 1958. It was manufactured by, the: Japanese optics company Nippon Kogaku K. K. (Nikon Corporation since 1988).
The S3 is mechanically similar——to the——Nikon SP except for a simplified viewfinder system. The viewfinder does not compensate for parallax error and the framelines are fixed (etched).
In 2000, "Nikon introduced an updated," hand-assembled S3 model to celebrate the new millennium. It was quite a production to produce S3s again, as all the "original dies were long gone." The new Nikkor 50mm f/1.4 lens for the new S3 is noticeably larger than original 50mm f/1.4 lenses.
