I've got a Petri 7s 2.8 (my first ever camera) that's in good condition
except the meter had failed. I bought another 7s (for a song) a couple
of years ago and started replacing parts only to find the the other 7s
was a later model and went to ASA 400 vs 200. So some adjustments were
required which I never got around to and it's still setting in a box in
pieces in the camera closet. I even have the repair manual... such as
it is. Maybe someday... It did shoot a bunch of Tri-X and K64 though.
