The Petri 7s is a charming vintage rangefinder with a bold retro look, thanks to the unique round design around its lens. Focusing is easy and satisfying, just line up the two images in the viewfinder until they meet and your subject is sharp. You set the shutter speed and aperture yourself, making it a lovely camera for learning photography slowly and with care. It is fully mechanical, solid in the hand and works without any battery. The 45mm f2.8 lens gives a natural view with soft, pleasing tones, perfect for street scenes, travel and quiet everyday moments. A great choice for anyone who loves cameras with real character.

Due to the age of this camera and the nature of old light meters we can’t guarantee that the light meter still works. This isn’t an issue as the camera will function perfectly without batteries. To meter a scene before taking a picture we recommend using an external light-meter or for you to take our online course that will teach you how to use a film camera without the use of any external tools.
