AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Beautiful legendary Petri 7s 35mm rangefinder camera from the 1960s, circa 1963.
Complete with an original Kako 818 electronic flash and the authentic black leather Petri camera case.
For its age of 64 years it is still in nice and very good working condition.
Shutter and light meter still work.
Equipped with the very sharp Petri 45mm f/2.8 lens.
The glass of the lens shows on the outside some fine, superficial polish scratches.
This is to be expected with age and has no practical effect on photo quality.
