Petri Orikkor 45mm f2.8

[landstrykere]

the most dealt with Orikkor lens is the uncommon 50mm f2.0 for Petri M42 SLR.
The history of the Kuribayashi/Petri/Orikkor lens isn't much documented but it seems from older discussions and links that the maker was Kyoei Optical Co. Ltd.

anyway, the other day I saw for 100 kr. which is nothing, like 10 in the imperial currencies used by many of you like the deutsche euro or the american thaler, a Petri-7s. In these times of hipsters buying Yashicas and Minoltas rangefinder for ten times this prices, I had to grab it.
Went to get it at the house and from the hands of a fit elderly who was the only owner and was amused people could buy some device that he long away replaced with a mobile phone needing no lab.

so, this:



there's just a Petri name on the lens:


but one can reasonably suspect it's the same than the one used previously on the Petri-2.8, this one marked Orikkor. It happen I got one of these from a guy who didn't succeed in fixing the RF mechanism but I hadn't yet found the time to tinker with it. The Petri-7s was just the next generation, new look and selenium meter, lens probably the same:



yesterday I loaded a roll of Portra-160 and went to take some random shots, developed, scanned and processed. Color rendition may not at the best because the c41 developer I used. External meter.
It's not a bad lens and it can be sharp and even produce some bokeh.










it can take relatively well some frontal sun:



on the bad side, huge color aberration. For instance this at different exposure/apertures in this late evening sun:




the glow can be an annoyance or almost an acceptable advantage:



it was still raining when I took the first shots, no worries with such simple analog camera, unlike the pricey sophisticated little Sonys and such I could capture a double rainbow too:





another disadvantage, focusing distance is big, I couldn't come closer than this:

I was thinking, for the ridiculous prices these Petri-7 sell they could be cannibalized for the lens, to be adapted for the smaller electronic mirrolesses.

results looks promising.
I have 45/1,9 orikkor kuribayashi one. I used only in digital, because camera was broken.
bokeh looks similar. colour is great
