Magera and I were scouring the Mission's thrift stores today, and I was lucky enough to score a nice find. Behold the Petri Color 35E. The camera was manufactured between 1968 and 1977, and is considered to be one of the greatest compact 35mm cameras ever made.
I must say this thing is solid and well constructed. After more than thirty years the camera shows almost no signs of wear. I am going to take it into Gasser's to get it looked over and pick up a new battery.
This is a cool screengrab from the original manual.
