My latest ebay purchase is a Petri 1.9 Color Corrected Super rangefinder, complete with wideangle and telephoto auxillary lenses, and matching viewfinder. A nice fast Orikkor 45mm F1.9 lens on it, and shutter up to 1/500 sec.
First impressions are that it is quality camera. In weight and size it is very close to my SP1000, but like my S1A the door opening mechanism is on the body, rather than on the rewind handle. A solid early 60's Japanese camera. Everything appears to be working as it should. The body is in excellent shape with almost no marks. Judging by the state of the camera bottom I would guess it rarely came out of its case. I'll run a roll through it tomorrow and see what happens. Anyone have an idea what this might be worth ? I'm too embarassed to reveal how little I paid <G>. Plus it was a local seller so not even any shipping charges. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Fred Widall, Email: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] URL: http://www.ist.uwaterloo.ca/~fwwidall ----------------------------------------------------------------------
