The Revue V6 is a 35mm SLR camera. It was sold in Germany by the photo retailer Foto Quelle. The camera was produced by the Japanese company Petri. In Japan there was a functionally identical model called the "Petri V6".
The camera was designed for use with 35mm film, whereby both 20 and 36-exposure films can be used. In most cases you will find the Revue CC Auto 1:1.8/55mm with the camera.
The camera has a shutter with a wide range of shutter speeds, from B to 1/500 second. The shutter speed selection ring is non-rotating and allows for easy operation. A pentaprism viewfinder with integrated "micromic lens focusing" ensures precise focusing.
The film is transported via a fast single-lever mechanism that both transports the film and cocks the shutter. The camera offers flash synchronization for FP, M and X flash lamps and allows the connection of interchangeable lenses with a bayonet mount.
Other features of the Revue V6 include an automatic film counter, a crank for film rewinding and a built-in self-timer. The camera also supports the use of a CdS light meter for precise exposure control.
The Revue V6 is a versatile camera suitable for both beginners and experienced photographers. Its combination of automatic functions and manual settings offers great flexibility when taking photos.
Films for the Revue V6
According to the manual, the Revue V6 uses the 35mm film format. There is still a wide range of color and black and white films available for this format. Possible films for the Revue V6 include the Kodak ColorPlus 200* and the Kodak T-Max 100*. User reports confirm that both films are suitable for everyday use.
The C-41 process is used to develop color films. This process is standardized and is offered by most photo labs. One way to develop color films is to take them to many drugstores.
The camera has an exposure range of 24 mm x 36 mm. Since the camera does not have an automatic motor, you have to manually move on to the next image.
The Revue V6 is only available on the used market. Today, the value of the 35mm photo camera is determined by its condition and functionality.
