The Petri Color 35 is a most remarkable camera. With the lens retracted, it is small enough to be carried in a pocket. It shoots a full 35mm frame and a has a great lens. Because of a clever design, it can be completely held and controlled using only the right hand.
The Color 35D pictured above, with Mini-Flash and UV filter installed, was purchased a military exchange in U-Tapao, Thailand in 1971 for $31.00.
