Another super rare one, from my collection of hard-to-find and close-to-mint stuff Unlike its more common Petri siblings, this is incredible rare even on ebay. Mine has the original soft case and lens cap, all usually lost by now in most other sales.

It is in near-mint condition. Everything, including metering, works perfectly. Lens is clean, no scratch, no fungus. Viewfinder has been recently cleaned: superb view even at night.

PM if interested; might be out-station soon, though. Low-ballers will be ignored.

Lots of queries, so here some FAQ:

1) Does it work without batteries?
ANS: Yes, but metering will be off. Metering is a very useful match-needle type that shows over- and under-exposure.

2) What batteries does it take?
ANS: I use the zinc air 675 batteries from Guardian Pharmacy and SL Sq.

3) "What's your best price?"
ANS: Quick deal is $300; willing to listen to reasonable offers so long as not those low-balling type.

4) Is this a XXX? How do you do XXX on this camera?
ANS: Pls read http://www.cameraquest.com/petri35.htm
