Petri Computor 35
A rather large rangefinder from Petri, another lacklustre camera. Way too big for a an all auto camera with the usual 40/2,8 lens. No manual control, no self-timer, but we do get 3 leds, one for long exposure warning, another for OK exposure and one for testing the battery. They are visible in the viewfinder and on top of the camera, nice.
The biggest problem of this camera is the shutter. You just wouldn't believe how loud it is! It is as loud as an SLR, I kid you not! I have never seen a leaf shutter as noisy as this one and it is electronic! I think it was a house made shutter and Petri knew about this problem as the next model (based on this Computor) has a completely silent Seiko ESP.
