Petri TTL |
|
| Kuribayashi Petri was one of the older Japanese camera manufacturers.
Founded in 1907, the company produced a wide range of cameras (plate cameras, folding roll film cameras, rangefinders,
and SLRs) until 1977, when they went bankrupt. The TTL was one of their last designs. I bought this camera in 2001, along with Petri M42 35mm, 55mm and 135mm primes. The Petri logo on the front has gone missing and has been replaced with a Mamiya one (in case you were wondering...). I don't use this body very often and as a result, have "problems" with the controls: both the shutter release and DOF button are placed on the front of the camera. There is another odd design feature that Petri used: the TTL meter in activated when the film is advanced and deactivated when the shutter is released. No other way of turning it on and off. |
