How to Use a Petri Racer Camera
A Petri Racer is an old rangefinder camera from the 1970s made by the Petri Company. It is a 35-mm fixed lens camera with a place for a removable flash. It can also be equipped with a 2.8/45 lens or a 1.8/45 lens. The Petri Racer only has 10 shutter speeds. Using the Petri Racer is as simple as using most rangefinder cameras.
