Carena SRH 760

Carena SRH 760.

This is a relabeled Petri FT 500. (Relabeled by the German retailer Photo Porst).

 

It is a 35mm SLR with an M42 lens mount. It has a hotshoe, no self-timer,

shutter speeds 1 - 500 plus B, x-sync at 1/60,

Stopped-down, through-the-lens, metering. Cloth, horizontal focal plane shutter.

 

Per www.kamera-geschichte.de/files/carena_slr_srh760_d.htm

Dimensions 155 x 95 x 50 mm (without lens)

Weight 675 g (without lens)

 

Per www.seniorcamping.dk/Nye3/Carena_SRH_760/Carena_SRH_760.html

it was made in Japan from 1976 to 1977

 

I have in my possession a Petri FT 1000. The Carena SRH 760 is identical to the FT 1000 except it lacks a self-timer and the top speed is 1/500 rather than 1/1000.

 

 

 

The German retailer Photo Porst (also written Foto Porst) did not manufacture cameras.

It sold cameras relabeled as "Porst", "Hapo" and "Carena".

(from www.camerapedia.org/wiki/Porst and www.acecam.com/photography/8127.html)

 

I bought this camera on Ebay in July 2008 for $ 7.99 + 11.59 (shipping) = $ 19.94 (US dollars).

It works fine. I haven't checked the meter. I photographed the Carena SRH 760 with

a Panasonic Lumix DMC FZ8 (a digital camera).

Searching the entire internet, hardly anyone, other than me, admits to using this camera model. There are no other photos of a Carena SRH-760 or photos taken with a Carena SRH-760 on Flickr besides mine. Corrected (on 28 Dec 2010), per comment, below, now there is at least one other.

 

I uploaded two other photos of this camera:

Here are some related photos of cameras (not mine):

Another Petri FT 1000 on flickr

Another Carena SRH 500

The Carena SRH 500 appears to be a much different camera than the Carena SRH 760 or the Petri FT 1000.
