wont fire – thus spares or display – no battery fitted on test
Simply put, the 1968 Petri Color 35 is a design masterpiece. Elsewhere I complain about the Rollei 35’s odd, hard to work design. The Petri Color 35 came two years later and is the camera that the Rollei 35 should have been. Where the Rollei 35 is odd and hard to work, the Petri Color 35 shines in originality and ease of use. Of course all of this is VERY odd, since saying a Petri had a much better design than a Rollei is something like saying Yugo had a much better design than Ferrari. I don’t have a clue how the Color 35 design came to Petri, but I bet it’s a fascinating story. According to the Collector’s Guide of Japanese Cameras, the Petri Color 35 has the distinction being the first Japanese camera to have the distance scale and exposure scale in the viewfinder. Most Color 35’s are chrome. The harder to find black enamel finish is more desirable.
