A year or so ago I bought a Petri V 6, with 28mm Soligor, and 35, 135 and 200mm Petri lenses. I haven't managed to run any film through it yet, though.  |

Thanks for posting, I've never seen a Petri SLR in the flesh. Looks like it is set up to take a clip on external meter too.

My neighbor gave me a V6 that was her mother's. I've seen pictures of the meter, and it is big and UGLY! It engages the pin on the speed setting knob, so when you set the aperture and match the needles, the speed is set. I only have the 55 mm f2 and an off brand 135 mm f3.2 lenses. I also have a clip-on cold shoe. I have only taken one roll with it and the pictures were good, but there was some flare. That may have been from the stadium lighting, though.

Had a Petri V and a VI which I sold to Paul a while back. Those lugs are for external meters. Cameras are built like tanks. My first SLR with an instant return mirror was a used Petri V back around 1967. Prior to that I had an Exa 1A and its mirror didn't come back down until you advanced the film.
The V and the VI had proprietary mounts--later Petri switch to M42, I believe. One reason I didn't keep my first Petri very long was there weren't many lenses available for it. I do like the angled shutter release on the front, however.

Wow, that has a bigger meter than the Minolta SR-1.

The meter looks like a parasite ... attack of the Robometer!
