Petri 2.8 Color Corrected Super
35mm Rangefinder Film Camera
with Leather Case
Color Super Series 1958

*Please read the entire listing.

From 1958, an interesting 35mm camera
from Petri. I recently purchased this camera
from the original owner's family. The
camera is in overall excellent condition.
The shutter sounds accurate
at all speeds including Bulb. The aperture
ring turns smoothly and click stops nicely.
The shutter speed ring also moves nicely.
The rangefinder is bright and clear and the
focus is spot on. The focus is smooth and
not stiff at all. All levers, dials, and knobs
operate as they should.

Neat features - This is an early version of this
model as the Carperu MX shutter's top
speed is 1/300th of a second vice 1/500th
of a second in the later versions with the MKV
shutter. No self-timer.

*There is a dent in the top plate as shown in
picture #3 otherwise the finish is bright
and clean. No corrosion. Super clean.

*The main issue with the camera
is that the lens has a bad dose of fungus, haze,
and spotting. It can be disassembled and
cleaned but that's beyond my expertise.

*The bottom half of the leather case is solid and
looks great. The top half will need to be
restitched to reattach the lens cone. It will come
with an extra length of the strap.

Why no Petri nameplate on the front leatherette?
The camera was serviced at one time and the original
leatherette was removed and a new piece
was attached. I believe that's why everything
operates so smoothly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does your shop offer combined shipping?

Yes, just let us know and we'll work something out. No need to pay for shipping more than once.

Does your shop accept returns?

Yes, but with some exceptions. No returns on custom-made items. Part two - we will gladly accept a return within 14 days as long as it is returned to us in the same condition as when we sent it to you. Specifically, if an item is new and unused and in its original box and packaging it must be returned in an unused and unopened condition. Vintage and classic cameras, lenses, and certain pieces of vintage photogear carry no warranties or guarantees. By their very nature, older cameras are just that, old, and their electronics, levers, knobs, buttons, and dials can fail at any time. Let us know if you are returning something, maybe we can reach an agreement short of a full return. Part three - you will always pay for return shipping. Thanks

Will my purchase arrive well packaged?

Always! Carol and I take great care (and pride) in packaging your purchase. We are mindful of being "green" but often times green doesn't protect your package properly. We have been shipping items safely since 2003. We must say, however, that we are not responsible for mishandling by the carrier(s) or loss of an item. Most items and especially valuable items will always have insurance added.

How can I contact your shop?

We are on Etsy almost every day and the best way to get our attention is by starting an Etsy convo. We'll answer you quickly. We're generally in the shop until 11 PM EST.

Does your shop ever do custom orders?

Yes, we do. Just let us know what you want or are looking for and we'll see if we can make it happen.

Does your shop accept a best offer?

We think we have everything priced properly but we are here to make a sale and keep our customers happy. Let us know if you want to make an offer on something. I'm sure we will find a way to reach an accord.
