AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
PETRI 2.8 Color Corrected Super, tested and working.
Hello from Japan!
We provide high-quality cameras and lenses to the world.
The Petri 2.8 Color Corrected Super is a 35mm rangefinder camera from Japan's Petri Camera Company, made in the late 1950s and 1960s. It pairs a fast 45mm f/2.8 lens, marketed as colour-corrected for the new colour films of the era, with a coupled rangefinder and a selenium exposure meter that needs no battery. Solidly built in metal, it is a characterful example of the many quality rangefinders produced by smaller Japanese makers during the golden age of the 35mm camera.

Measured Performance
We check these cameras on a shutter tester rather than by ear, and we publish what we measured:
