From the editor
The camera was sold under the names Petri PENTA V3 or Petri V3 FLEX (for export).
Essentially it was the same camera as the Petri PENTA V2, but with two studs on the right side of the front plate, to allow an accessory CdS exposure meter to be mounted, plus a new standard lens, Petri C.C Auto 55/1.8.
