The Petri 7s is a 35mm fixed-lens rangefinder camera made by Petri in 1962[1] as an improved replacement for the Petri 7 of 1961. Like that camera, it has an around-the-lens selenium cell light meter. This is improved in the 7s by the addition of a match-needle display on the top plate; the original model has the meter display only in the viewfinder. The top-plate display was retained in later models. Other differences include an improved film advance lever (pictured below right) and frame counter. The lens is the same as in the previous models; a coated 45mm f/2.8 or f/1.8. A clamp-on hood was supplied, and the lens accepts 52mm screw-in filters; these will cover the meter sensor, so exposure will be corrected for the filter. The leaf shutter gives speeds from 1 to 1/500 second, plus 'B', and is synchronised, switchable between X- and M-synch. with a small lever on the lens barrel. There is also a self-timer.
Production ended in 1973, and the 7s was superseded by the Petri 7s II in 1974.
