The Petie is a subminiature viewfinder camera sold by the German company Walter Kunik KG, Frankfurt c.1956.
It creates 14x14mm images on paper-backed 16mm rollfilm.
The first Petie has black leatherette and a chrome trim with a 25mm f9 fixed-focus meniscus lens in an everset leaf shutter with a single speed of 1/50s[1].
A special Mickey Mouse edition was made, with bright red wrinkle-finish paint, and a yellow surround to the lens, printed Copyright Walt Disney Prod. and Mickey Mouse Camera.[2]
The later (1958)[3] Petie II can have leatherette in different colors[4] and a gold colored trim. The lens is now a Röschlein Kreuznach f9/25mm Achromat.
