Petri Color 35

[valdas]

I bought today Petri Color 35. Paid 10€. Good news - it's black and beautiful, with case, lens cap and even filter. Bad news - it does not work. I thought it was because of battery, but then read that it should operate without battery which is just for metering. So is it most common issue of old cameras - stuck shutter? Advance lever would not move and shutter won't fire... Well, will try to clean the shutter, but even if i fail to repair it - it is soooooo beatiful, it will be the shelf queen (queen of queens)...

Something in the shutter appears to gum up - on both of mine, the slow times were stuck when I got them. But that is a fairly easy fix that every good camera service shop can perform, and they are worth fixing.

And after 20€ CLA it is back to life... Tested with film, quite nice...

Let's see some photos. I've have a few Petri cameras and I like them.
