Petri 55mm f/1.8 Auto CC M42 Mount Lens

The Petri 55mm f/1.8 Auto C.C. is a classic fast standard lens from Petri’s manual-focus SLR era. It’s an appealing piece of vintage Japanese glass for anyone building out a Petri system or looking for something a little more off the beaten path than the usual Canon, Nikon, and Pentax lenses.

The 55mm focal length gives a slightly tighter perspective than the more familiar 50mm standard lens, while the bright f/1.8 maximum aperture makes it useful for available-light photography, portraits, and getting some proper shallow depth of field. The C.C. designation refers to Petri’s color-corrected lens treatment, part of the company’s effort to improve color reproduction with its coated optics.

These older Petri lenses are also fun candidates for adaptation and experimental digital shooting, especially for photographers interested in vintage rendering rather than modern clinical perfection.

Condition: EXCELLENT

This Petri 55mm f/1.8 Auto C.C. is in excellent condition with minimal signs of use. The optics are clean and clear, focus movement is smooth, and the aperture mechanism operates properly.

A very clean example that's ready to shoot or add to a vintage Petri setup.
