Hallo again!
My first lenses, I catched on ebay were two petri 135/2,8 lenses - made in Japan.
Petri is a Name of an Importeur, like Autorevue or Porst, I read.
Who is the manifacture ???
- Cosinon look so -
today I won a
Pentax PK Cosinon Auto MC 200mm 3.5 200 for 17€ - the aperture 3,5 is interesting for low light, I hope, it performs good, it was so cheap.
regards Peter

That'll be very hard to tell.
I only know that my Petri 2.8/28 Macro is a very good lens, much better than I expected! And it has a decent close up performance.

Petri was actually a camera manufacturer, with its own factory - Kuribayashi Petri. Its cameras were unique in design, though being that it aimed for the lower end of the market, the quality of manufacture was often second rate. Petri sold almost exclusively under its own brand.
I believe it made its own lenses, or some of them anyway. The Petri Orikkor SLR lenses I have seen tend to be unique and I could not find relationships with known third-party makers. Some of these Orikkor lenses are quite rare.
The company (Kuribayashi or its successor) is still apparently making optics.

This is a example of what I mean by rarity - this type of thing doesn't come up often.
Other generic lenses were sold under the Petri brand, like this one -

I haven't identified the maker for this particular T-mount series, but they were sold under many distributors brands, like Accura, Lentar, Vemar, etc. I doubt the maker was Petri.

It looks so new, the other samples so old, I think, this couldn`t be an original petri.

Seems to be this one : http://www.mflenses.com/content/view/132/
and similar with my Porst. I think both of them are in fact Cosinon lenses  It is a very good lens and cheap too.
Here is some more info about Petri : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petri_Camera
http://www.camerapedia.org/wiki/Petri
The Petri F (except F1000) series and older were having a specific Petri bayonet.
Starting with F1000 and then on MF 1, 2 and 3 the Petri bayonet was replaced with M42 screw mount. After this, the MF-101,102,103 and later GX series were having K Pentax bayonet mount an I know for sure that the GX series was made by Cosina, beeing in fact Cosina cameras (and lenses) with Petri label. - see http://www.butkus.org/chinon/ultimate_k-mount.htm
Anyway doesn't really matter because many Cosina lenses (and cameras) are pretty good and cheap. So you can get a good value for the payed money.

Petri mf-101 was my first camera which I bought 2nd hand from a street market when I was at the university.
It was a great beginners camera. Even most of my friends were using canon eos (600 series esp.) at that time, it never made me admire those cameras.
I traded it for a lens when I switched to Nikon and that camera is still on display at the same shop at the same corner for 9 years.
May be one day I'll buy it back. I had lots of good times with that camera. |

Hi I'm quite new to this (got my dslr yesterday) but remembered I had an old slr back a my mums house. I'm pretty sure its this 135mm petri lens!
I was wondering if I can fit this to my eos 400d via some adapter?
The link provided by montecarlo says it might not be so easy?
Any help is most welcome! |

Welcome! I never seen any adapter from Petri bayonet to EOS. Petri lenses are dirt cheap very few people interest to mount them on EOS, perhaps this is the reason why not available.

I was hoping that the lens used a Pentax K fitting.
But I'm not that well versed in this 
It was indeed a pentax k fitting. I am using it now with an adapter! |
