THE PETRI 7S - Rangefinder Camera - Boxed and in Mint Condition.

 

A cult classic and excellent Rangefinder Camera. 

Released by Japanese camera maker Petri in 1962 and produced until 1973, the Petri 7s is a 35 mm fixed-lens rangefinder camera that was an improved version of the Petri 7 introduced a year before. An advanced camera during its time, it has an around-the-lens (ATL) selenium cell light meter that can read light values of 7 - 17. The Petri 7 was also equipped with an additional match-needle display visible both in the viewfinder and on the top plate, a coupled rangefinder, and an improved film advance lever and frame counter. The 7s came with either a 45 mm f/1.8 or f/2.8 lens, which can accept 52 mm screw-in filters.
