Petri 7s!
The Petri 7s is a 35mm fixed-lens rangefinder camera made by Petri in 1962 as an improved replacement for the Petri 7 of 1961. Like that camera, it has an around-the-lens selenium cell light meter, which reads Exposure Values 7 to 17. This is improved in the 7s by the addition of a second match-needle display on the top plate; the original model has the meter display only in the viewfinder. This top-plate display was retained in later models.
Other differences from the previous model include an improved film advance lever and an automatic resetting frame counter. The two lens options are the same as in the previous model: either a coated 45mm f/2.8 or a 6-element 45mm f/1.8. A clamp-on hood was supplied, and the lens accepts 52mm screw-in filters; these will cover the meter sensor, so exposure will be corrected for the filter. The Citizen leaf shutter gives speeds from 1 to 1/500 second, plus 'B', and is synchronised, switchable between X- and M-synch with a small lever on the lens barrel. There is also a self-timer. The brightline frame in the viewfinder is also slightly improved, having extra marks for parallax error correction when focused close up.
