I have bought a Konica Auto S2 in very good shape and everything is working right but the lens/shutter is wobbling a bit. The focus and aperture ring are kind of ok but the shutter speed ring is wobbly and I checked the rear element while wobbling the shutter speed dial and the rear element is kind of moving too. Do you know how I fix this?
My camera did not com with a built in lens hood as some do. Which aftermarket product would you recommend?
Thanks in advance,

Berk,
When you openthe film back and look toward the rear element, you will see a concentric ring. Make sure this ring is tight. This sometimes causes the lens assembly to wobble a little.
You can use any 55mm standard lens shade, or check this eBay auction:

Good luck,

I checked that ring and it is already tight. I found a thread in the archives and maybe I'll try that later today:https://kyp.hauslendale.com/classics/forum/messages/674/1083.html?1046021841
Thanks for the ebay link, that is what I was looking for. Regular shades may obstruct the rangefinder.

Update: I cannot find where to tighten at the back of the shutter asembly. I removed the front plate from the body and removed the rear element but cannot find a collar there to tighten.
