Updated August 25, 2026

Vintage Petri FT 35mm single-lens reflex film camera accompanied by a Petri 55mm f/1.8 lens, original Petri FT instruction book, fitted camera case, additional lens/accessory case, shoulder strap, and a larger vintage zippered camera carrying case with blue fitted interior. The Petri FT is a Japanese-made manual-focus 35mm SLR from the classic film photography era. This example has the silver and black body configuration with prominent PETRI branding across the prism housing. The included Petri 55mm f/1.8 lens is marked Petri Camera Co., Inc., No. 329735 and C.C. Auto, making this an appealing vintage photography set for collectors, film-camera enthusiasts, display, or potential restoration/use. Also included is the Petri FT Instruction Book, which shows age-related discoloration, spotting and handling wear. The camera and accessories are housed with multiple protective cases, including a large structured black carrying case with zippered closure, shoulder strap, exterior accessory pocket, and bright blue divided interior. Camera is untested and functionality is unknown. No film testing has been performed, and no guarantees are made regarding the shutter, meter, lens mechanics, seals, or other photographic functions. Camera, lens, cases, manual, and accessories show varying degrees of vintage use, age, surface wear, dust, spotting, scuffs and handling marks. The front lens glass appears to have visible dust/debris and should be evaluated by the bidder from the photographs. A nice complete-looking vintage Petri camera outfit with desirable fast f/1.8 normal lens and period accessories, ideal for collectors of Japanese cameras, 35mm film photography, vintage SLR cameras, Petri Camera Co., analog photography equipment, retro camera gear, and mid-century photographic equipment.
