I just purchased a Petri color corrected super 2.8...It appears to be in good condition, but how do you set the film speed? Thanks, cruzer😕

Hi cruzer, and welcome. Not all Petri cameras had built-in meters, especially the oldest ones. My Petriflex V had no meter but my Half-7 did, and so did my Dad's 7S. So there may be no way to set film speed, and no reason to, depending on your specific model.

Some Petri cameras had a red C.C. preceding the Petri name on the front lens ring, and I believe that stood for "Color Corrected". That's not the camera model, but does give a clue to the vintage.

For more info, Google "Petri camera", and check these URLs:
