Pentax :: 17
2024, Japan
► 1 Year Warranty
The Pentax 17 is a brand new film camera from Pentax themselves. Yes, read that again and let it sink in. The Pentax 17 is a beautiful 35mm half-frame, zone focus camera system that is *ideal* for everyday shooting and travel photography. It features three modes of shooting, +/- 2-stops exposure compensation, 6 focal zones, excellent on-board flash, and a fast and sharp 25mm f/3.5 prime lens (37mm effective). It shoots vertical images natively and exposes *half* of a standard 35mm frame, giving the user twice the amount of shots as stated on the roll. A 36-exposure roll yields 72 shots, for example. Put simply, it's the best and most advanced 35mm half-frame camera system you can get.
The Pentax 17 is a fantastic camera system and we are over the moon that Pentax has returned to the world of film photography. This is a HUGE moment for the film photography renaissance and the "17" is a historic camera to launch in that regard.
