Catalogue information
Kuribayashi was the first manufacturer in Japan to start producing 35mm SLR cameras from 1959. The first model to leave the Kuribayashi factory was the 'Petri Flex' which was soon followed by the successful Petri Penta line and then followed by the Petri F series, all with their own Petri lens bayonet. Much later, the first Petris were launched with a "Praktica M42 thread" as the lens mount. This Petri TTL also has the M42 lens mount and was a very popular reflex camera for the novice amateur photographer in the 70s-80s. In terms of size and weight, the Petri TTL feels like the well-known East German Praktica reflex cameras, but has a much nicer finish. A characteristic of all Petri SLR cameras is that the shutter release button - just like the Praktica's - is not mounted on top but at an angle to the front for ergonomic reasons.
