daniel_iggers Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 An M42 SLR built by Cosina for Revue or Porst? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael_linn Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 Possibly a Petri Computor II, early 70's rangefinder with a Seiko electronic shutter and a 40mm f1.7 lens. Uses two 640 batteries. A lot of Petri products were made for sale by Carena, primarily in Europe. Do you have a photo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awahlster Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 In the latest McKeowns Price guide: there are two possibilities both as stated above. One the on hand there is a camera listed as a Carena Computer (note the e in computer)it does not how ever list a II version of this camera. It is a SLR. And the above mentioned Petri rangefinder who's name in the book is listed as Petri Computor II (note the o in computor) it does not how ever list any name variations. So is your camera a rangefinder or a SLR based on that alone you could chose which source of the camera is most likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silvermoon Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 <p>Arna, judging from the picture, your Carena is probably a clone of <strong>Petri Computor III</strong>, which also has a 38mm f/2.7 lens. Petri Computor II would be equipped with a 40 f/1.7 lens instead.<br> <a href="http://camera-wiki.org/wiki/Petri_Computor_35">http://camera-wiki.org/wiki/Petri_Computor_35</a></p> <p>Funny how Petri insists on spelling it "Computor", while Carena begs to differ!</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
