Originally posted by JimJhnson My jump to 'real' photography from a Kodak Brownie was a Petri with a couple lenses. I learned a lot about exposure with that camera.
He bought the Petri at the PX when he was stationed in Vietnam. IIRC he said
he figured it would be a good choice since Petri was the house brand of Macy's
or Gimbels at the time. Remember when department stores sold 35mm cameras?
Once he had a problem with one of the Petri lenses and attempted to repair it.
When he finally brought the bag of parts to the Petri authorized repairer
they told him they had never seen one disassembled that far!
