What it is
{"overview":"The Petri Penta V6 (also sold as the Petri Flex V6) is a 35mm single-lens reflex camera made by Kuribayashi\/Petri of Japan, introduced in the mid-1960s. On that basis the camera's value today sits in the budget tier of vintage Japanese SLRs, and a confident price band cannot be quoted without further auction data.","buying_guide":"Common issues on Petri SLRs of this era include a sticky or capping cloth shutter, hazy or fungus-affected viewfinder optics, and dead selenium meter cells where fitted; check that the breech-lock mount engages cleanly and that slow shutter speeds run without hesitation.
