PETRI 7 - CONNECTIONS

Now that I've explained the fundamental principles behind the Petri 7 analog point-and-shoot camera, it's time to take a closer look at the mechanical components, how they are connected with eachother, the used materials and so on.

First of all, I like to discuss the used connections because I was suprised how easy the disassembly turned out to be.

Two main techniques were used.


  • Overall, all the parts and components are connected by tiny screws.
  • In the lens however, all the round large parts are threaded, and can be screwed in one another.
