Petri 7

[chilla]

The Petri 7 rangefiner I bought on eBay last week arrived today. In very good condition, nice and clean and everything appears to be working. 
I've thrown in a roll of film to play with through the week before I decide whether to keep it or re-sell it. 

It is a beautiful camera and fells / looks like a lot of fun to play with. 
F2.8 45mm Petri lens. The Selenium light meter appears to be working... 

There was meant to be a Nuvex adaptor mount come with it but it was missing from the delivery - message sent - hoping the seller will find it and forward it on to me. 

Thoughts??

Steven, I have had a Petri 7s for more years than I care to admit to but it seems to continue to work fine, shutter speeds and meter. The difference between the 7 and 7s, I think, is that the 7s has a meter read out on the top plate as well as in the viewfinder.

Hi Rachel, Thanks for the reply. 
I just picked up this Petri 7S on eBay to go with its older brother. Looks like its in good condition and the seller has used it to shoot with over the last year. 
Will be an interesting comparison when it arrives.
