While organizing my stuff, I found this camera:
Anyone know which Petri this one is? I haven't had much luck finding any info about it on line.
It seems to be in OK condition except the RF patch is very dim.
The shutter speeds sound reasonable, the meter is reacting to light.
Might have to give this a go, albeit as a scale focus camera. (I am going to try the tape on the VF window trick.)
It fits my hand pretty well and I like how it looks.

I would guess that it is pre-1963. How much pre I couldn't say.

Kuribayashi is one of my favorite camera words, along with Dynamatic.

Looks like a development of the 1.9 Color-Corrected Super with the addition of the meter. The 1.9 which was itself a development of the 2.8 CC Super from about 1956-'57.

It actually is called Petri E.B officially, released in 1960. It's the company's first with a coupled meter; came with two models, one with a f/1.9 and the other f/2.8 lens.
Guess what the E.Bn is short for: "Electric Brain"!
