Petri C.C. Super 1.9 35mm Rangefinder Film Camera

The Petri C.C. Super 1.9 is a compact 35mm rangefinder produced by Kuribayashi in Japan during the early 1960s. It is fitted with a 45mm f/1.9 Petri C.C. lens, a bright standard focal length that was notable at the time for its speed and everyday versatility. Focus is handled through a coupled rangefinder, while exposure is set manually using the top-plate shutter dial and the aperture ring on the lens. The camera uses a leaf shutter with speeds typically ranging from 1 second to 1/500, along with a bulb setting for longer exposures. Its solid metal construction, compact body and straightforward mechanical controls make it a practical carry camera, especially for photographers who prefer direct manual operation without electronic dependency.

Please note that the front element of the lens has some minor scratching, and the front leatherette has been replaced.
