If an f2.8 aperture is enough I'd go tor the Olympus 35RC. Had one for years. The Konica Auto S3 has a great lens, but no manual aperture selection. Also, they tend to be pricey. The Canon GIII 17 is also a good option.
My all time favorite, although not compact, is the Konica Auto S2. Bought mine new in 1974 and except for exposure counter not resetting, it still works great.

What did you think of the lens quality on the Oly RC?

I have read on numerous occasions, that quite a few of the older rangefinders have circuits that automatically compensate for voltage difference with batteries. Is this true? If so, are they listed somewhere?
Thanks

That Sears 35rf is a nice looking compact. Looks like it could be a Ricoh or a Konica.
It’s a Ricoh.

Interesting. My results were a bit different. I found the Vivitar ES, to have the sharper, better lens.
