The Petri Racer is a fixed-lens rangefinder introduced by Petri Camera Company, Inc. (formerly known as Kuribayashi Shashin Kogyo K.K.) in 1966. Similar to other Petri cameras like the 2.8 Color Super, the Racer features the signature âGREEN-O-MATICâ viewfinder which visually sets it apart from other Japanese fixed-lens rangefinders.
The Kuribayashi Petri 2.8 Color Super is a fixed-lens rangefinder produced by Kuribayashi Shashin Kogyo K.K.. Confusingly, there doesnât seem to be an âofficialâ model number for this camera as itâs just one of many ambiguously named fixed-lens rangefinders made by Kuribayashi in the late â50s and early â60s. However, the well-known McKeownâs Price Guide To Antique & Classic Cameras identifies this particular model as the âPetri 2.8 Color Superâ so, for simplicityâs sake, thatâs what Iâm going to call it here.
