Sathya the camera you show in this video is not one of Petri's best efforts, but they did make a couple of good rangefinders in the late 60's. As far as cleaning up your camera you can buy a can of electronic contact cleaner and spray into the parts that require cleaning and try to avoid getting it up into the rangefinder glass area, and work/exercise the slow/sluggish parts until they move freely. The contact cleaner removes the stick film and age grime without leaving a residue, safe on the electronic parts and wiring. Cheers.
Mr. Peacock, it is often said life is made of many little moments which often converge to form a tapestry. This jaunt with this camera seems indescribably mundane. Is there a reason you are not using a certain German rangefinder or a TLR with a Xenotar or Sonnar lens ?
Haven’t had the need to buy a Leica or a Rolleiflex yet, but never say never! As to ‘life is made of many little moments which often converge to form a tapestry’ - your point?
Lovely job at this review, brother!! I actually love the shots the cam took - has a nice vintage feel. Produced, I guess, by the lens. Great work 🔥🔥
Appreciate you brother 👊🏽 and thanks for all the help with filming the London Seg 😊

looks like a once a year type shooting arrangement. because nostalgia.
haha, sounds about right
These photos are great! Really surprised. Looks like it was hard work to use, but it’s paid off though!
Glad you like them, thank you!
Petri also made some decent SLRs in the 60s and 70s.
💯
The country side pictures are so beutiful!
Britain does have some beautiful countrysides, made my job a bit easier :) Thanks for watching!

@@SathyaPeacock this video is not one of those moments. Rather it seems like an unravelling of the tapestry.
