Description from the seller
PETRI 2.8 Color Corrected Super – serviced, shutter speeds measured on a tester.
• Shutter speeds measured on a shutter tester – results below.
• Serviced before listing: viewfinder cleaned internally, lens cleaned internally.
• Condition: Good – 2 issues, fully disclosed under Known Issues.
About this camera
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.
