Resurrecting an oldish thread here, but there's a Petri 7s in a local junk shop for £16-50 (UKP)
It looks mint with a leather case, but I think the wind on mechanism has jammed. When I looked at it today I wasn't sure if it needed a battery so I I didn't 'play' with it that much, but from what I've read on the internet this petri does seem to have a reputation for being a bit fragile ?
I also see they come with two lenses, 1.8 and 2.8, and I can't remember which it had.
It's a very nice camera that I'd pay the asking price for if it worked, and maybe I'd pay that price if it it's easily repairable ?
So what I need to know is, are they worth fixing, and how do I fix it. Or do I pass it by ? |
erm Well I've no idea if the Petri is a collectors item but IMO £16.50 for a Petri with problems is a waste of money........plenty of other cameras of this type available which are very good e.g. Konica C35
