[[Petri]] offered this evolution of its [[rangefinder camera|35mm rangefinder]] the [[Petri Computor 35]] between 1972 and 1974<ref> Dates from [http://www.pbase.com/cameras/petri/computor_ii Pbase page on the Computor II].</ref>. The improvements of the Computor II were a faster f1.7 40mm lens, and a self-timer. The model name then changed to [[Petri ES Auto]].
 
 
 
The camera appears to calculate programmed shutter and aperture selections automatically, despite a confusing F-stop indicator on the lens barrel, which seems to be just for the benefit of flash photography<ref>The [http://35mm-compact.com/compact/petricomputor2.htm Computor II] on [http://35mm-compact.com/ 35mm-compact.com] site shows a switch on the rear selecting F or A (assumed to be flash/Automatic) - which must disable the auto-exposure and enable the aperture control on the lens for flash.</ref>.
 
 
 
The [[CdS|CdS cell]] is placed just above the lens, inside the filter thread, allowing the [[light meter|meter]] to compensate for filters. The bright finder is not so very bright on this one, although it may have yellowed with age.
