Back in the '60s, I had a small Petri (can not remember the model number) that was similar to the small Rollei 35mm camera of similar vintage.
It was well made, took decent pix, was easy to carry, and fit my limited budget.
I don't know what happened to the company.


The "small" Petri was called the "Color 35" and was directly competitive with the Rollei 35. In face Steve Gandy of Classic Camera reviews said the only down side of the Color 35 was that it did not have the name Rollei inscribed on it. I had a few of these Petri's.

They actually had some features improved over the small Rollei's and were very sharp with good images produced.

Good shots.

My favorite spot for Dahlias with a vast number of hybrids and variants......the dahlia farms in Canby Oregon, a few miles off I-5, north of Salem Oregon, about halfway to Portland. Easy to spend hours there with your camera gear or buy Dahlias for your table or garden.

Thanks for the images. Reminder for me to take a trip over the mountains to Canby in the Willamette valley. The weather in Canby is conducive to Dahlia production

Ima Tokina guy!

Remember this or spend a of time with the wrong "macro" lenses.

Most TRUE macro lens deliver a 1:1 lifesize image.

IF you want real Macro, look for a 1:1 output. You can spin your wheels and your paycheck on lenses that say MACRO but really only get a final ratio of 1:2, 1:3 or 1:4.

Most old SLR and some digital zooms that say MACRO fall in that range, Cheap but not truly real life 1:1. MACRO is fun and rewarding unless you know what you are hoping for in real lifesize images.

There must be a final ratio of 1:1 for rewarding results to be obtained. There are inexpensive options but the word MACRO alone on the lens will lead you down a dark road on what you may be expecting. Study the information on the internet for MACRO

Of course, because jpegs are already processed! The difference is that the camera decided on the how, as that is up to you when shooting raw!


Absolute hogwash disseminated unwisely by those who know little about JPEG and their camera controls.

On all Fujifilm cameras I own, and have owned I can I can set up to 7 profiles and pick a proper profile for the type of pic I am shooting. The camera then processes all JPEGs according to my custom profile for that type of shot.

Furthermore,When I used Olympus camera's the same was true for up to 4 custom profiles which are applied to the JPEG's, as I chose. NOT AS THE CAMERA CHOSE.

The continuing misinformation that the user has no control over JPEG output in processing is misleading to those who want to avoid the hugely time wasting use of RAW is a dis-service to the UHH community.

Most camera mfrs now provide Pre Shot custom processing of JPEGs in the camera.

Consequently, I am able to both process before and after the shot, all of which are my controls and NOT the camera's. Enough to satisfy my needs to sell salable image and hang then on the wall (in large sizes, up to 20x30 for instance).

So my personal choice is to customize to the degree I am able, without the heartache and time spent in RAW editing. And, I get files I can see immediately and still adjust more to my liking.

Please be more clear about the "letting the camera do the processing" As the mfr intended, which is highly misleading.

JPEG controls through the image processor are nearly as managable as screwing with RAW.

Check the macro feature before spending money on these lenses. As I recall, they do not give anywhere near a 1:1 ratio..

More like 1:2 or 1:4. Not life size.

The Sigma D9, D10, D14 and D15 DSLRs are user convertible at no charge, by the simple removal of a filter in front of the sensor, by fingernail.

A user reversible process and a great infrared mode.

I had 3 of these and they were great in either mode. Plenty of them out there used....

See eBay and other markets. Used they often cost less than an IR conversion.

Sigma even has good info and software on their IR processing.

Thanks... didn't know that... usually used 300...

300 huge waste of ink. 240 optimal for ink conservation. 300 also takes longer to day.

Although the possibility is remote, you can short the card reader in your camera in a direct camera to computer via USB cable alone. Improper shut down of the direct link can "short" out the card reader board in the camera. Can you spell EXPENSIVE?

I am often poo-poo'd on this, but I have seen manuals which have cautioned this problem (Nikon for one).

I have actually seen three high end DSLRs which have required sent to factory for this repair. (one a Nikon, and one a Fuji built on the Nikon 200 chassis-A Fujifilm Pro S5)

I have been a Computer tech for 20 plus years, and field tech for Dell part of that time.

I would never (will never again) connect a digital camera to any computer directly. I've seen and experienced the failure of the card slot in camera's for myself and a couple of clients. I know that one improper shutdown or disconnect can take your camera out of service, no matter how remote the possibility

Question: With the back of the camera open, no film in it, and I have pushed the shutter button, when I advance the film advance lever, will the take-up spool advance even if there is no film attached?

Thank you in advance for your help!


More info than you could ever hope to find on all the Yashica 35mm rangefinder 35mm camera's at Yashica-Guy.com.

All including Lynx, Electro, J, and a number of others. This is the most complete Yashica site I found when I was in my Electro and Lynx phase.

It would have been much lovilier if you had checked the "download" button.
Clicking "download" increases the image sharpness immensely when viewers click into the download .... IMMENSELY!!!
