The PENTAX 17 compact film camera provides photographers with the fun, excitement, and distinctive image quality of film photography, as well as reviving the thrill of manual camera operation such as manual film winding using the film advance lever, and manual focus-range setting with the zone-focus system. It is an ideal model not only for film camera enthusiasts who have enjoyed film photography for years, but also for young photographers who are excited about trying film photography for the first time.
Key Features
- Half-size format (17x24mm)
- Manual camera operation unique to film cameras
- Newly developed fixed-focal lens combining time-proven optics and the latest lens coating technology
- Zone-focus system to switch the in-focus area via simple selection of zone marks
- Bright optical viewfinder for real-time confirmation of a subject image
- Seven shooting modes to accommodate different applications
- High-quality body with meticulous attention to every detail
- Built in Flash
- Wide selection of ISO film speeds (50, 100, 125, 160, 200, 400, 800, 1600 and 3200)
- Note holder on the back cover for an at-a-glance confirmation of the film in use
- Three strap lugs to accommodate horizontal and vertical camera suspensions
- Compatibility with the optional CS-205 Cable Switch, which comes in handy for extended-exposure photography in Bulb shooting mode
Half-size format
The PENTAX 17 features the half-size format, in which two 17mm x 24mm pictures are captured in a single 35mm-format frame (24x36mm). It also employs a horizontal film advance mechanism. When positioned in the normal way, it captures vertical-format pictures, identical to the familiar images captured by smartphones, which are commonly used today for picture-taking.
Manual camera operation unique to film cameras
The PENTAX 17 features a manual film winding mechanism based on those incorporated in PENTAX-brand SLR film cameras. The film advance lever lets the user enjoy the film winding action and a wind-up sound after every shutter release. Its easy-loading system is designed to prevent film-loading errors, especially for first-time film camera users. It also features other mechanisms unique to film cameras, such as manual film rewinding operation using the rewind crank; exposure compensation via the exposure compensation dial; and ISO sensitivity setting via the ISO sensitivity dial.
Newly developed fixed-focal lens combining time-proven optics and the latest lens coating technology
The PENTAX 17 features a newly developed 25mm F3.5 fixed-focal lens (equivalent to a 37mm lens in the 35mm format). Based on the optics incorporated in the acclaimed PENTAX Espio Mini (marketed in 1994), it has been redesigned to fit perfectly in the half-size format. It is also treated with HD (High Definition) coating - a highly acclaimed multi-layer coating - to optimise the clarity and sharpness of half-size pictures. Using the lens used in the RICOH Auto Half (a best-selling half-size model first marketed in 1962) as a reference, the angle of view and focal length were selected to make casual, everyday picture-taking simple and flawless.

$499 for a brand new film camera in 2024 with a warranty is a steal for me, which is why I purchased this camera. I actually bought the bundle for $100 more directly from Pentax, and I hope this camera is a massive success so that Pentax can release more advanced cameras in the near future.

@cameracentretv Месяц назад

Yer same here! I like where they are going with it! We shall see

@tobiasellerbrok3131 Месяц назад

I just received the camera and I have now started shooting my FP ISO 400 B&W. I can't wait to see the first results. I am not new to film photography but haven't had a 35mm film Camera for 25 Years. So what can I say, I love it, easy to handle and a real throwback in the good old times.

@theangrymarmot8336 Месяц назад

I am on my second roll through mine (arrived Wednesday.) I think $499 is perfectly fair price, as if you look at high quality digital fixed lens point & shoots - you are in the same price range or more. I have spent way more on 50+ year old gear to roll the dice on whether it works correctly. I also laugh at the dingleberries who compare this to a SLR, whine about no hot-shoe, are mad about zone focus, or bash half-frame cause they act like they need to make a 18 meter by 36 meter print of every picture. The use case for this camera is really obvious (point and shoot.) I bought mine as a pocketable everyday camera and/or a small camera to squeeze into the bag with my medium and large format gear. The camera is fun to use, and has excellent image quality for half frame. I developed my first roll the day after it came in - and I was quite happy with the lens quality and the built in light meter.

@cameracentretv Месяц назад

Yer I agree. I mention a k1000 but isn't much of a fair comparison. This camera is something I end up thinking about more and more as as a point shoot is just fun!

@JoeLopez Месяц назад

Nice job on the review. I feel $499 is on point all things considered. It’s a nice camera and hopefully not the last.

@cameracentretv Месяц назад

Yeah, for sure it’s an interesting time to be alive when it comes to the camera industry because it seems to be regressing into film photography more and more and I really like that it’s a new and interesting experience. If I’m honest after shooting this, I am actually tempted to get one myself as I don’t know if you can tell by the video I really did enjoy it so maybe 499 is that actual right price point?

@surferuk35 Месяц назад

If you try to use in low-light with the flash it's virtually unusable. The flash-ready light is so bright you can't see anything in the viewfinder so returned mine as I do a lot of low-light photography. Also struggled t see the frame lines in certain lighting conditions. Pentax definitely need to look at the brightness of the LEDs next to the viewfinder as this has not been an issue with some of my previous similar cameras.

@lelandfitz1762 Месяц назад

I just think if the Rollei 35AF goes for 800-850$ those 500$ will really look expensive (if Mint delivers on the Rollei).

@soulcareer3154 Месяц назад

I had expected to use Takumar lenses on this but... oh well I'll keep using what I already have for now.

@cameracentretv Месяц назад

Would of been call if you chose super takumar!

@anthonylovesey1137 Месяц назад

The Kodak Ektar is a half frame compact camera that shoots 72 photos on a 36 exp roll of 35mm. I think it is around £100 .

@JoshuaBowen Месяц назад

If you want that disposable camera look

an f8 plastic camera with inferior lens, fixed focus, etc etc etc

Apples and oranges really.

@elwick_photo Месяц назад

I really like the idea of this camera, but like you said... it feels odd when there better older film cameras available for around £100, and when this camera doesn't have a sensor, doesn't have a all the digital circuitry or any of the "tech" from a modern camera except the light meter, and even then the battery compartment kinda looks like an afterthought screwed closed with a sticking out screw head.... it feels like if it was £250-300 it'd be an easy sell but.... £500?! If it ever shows up in a sale at like £300 though, id be really tempted, a film camera that meters extremely accurately and allows for over and under exposing with the twist of an exposure dial? yeah sounds simple and fun.

@cameracentretv Месяц назад

This is it, I could justify the 500 maybe but would need some more weight there. I would say the thing that’s pushing me to I would get was that the experience was just fun. I loved shooting with it. Honestly impressed

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sioAN8w_Ew8.htmlsi=eDL453zK1SrpZ8iU Here is a video where someone has taken the camera apart to look at what tech is inside, other than the geared winding system, there is plenty of digital tech inside the camera. The focusing system uses electrical contacts to move the lens group rather than a manual system. The battery compartment "bump" actually feels good in the hand and makes one handed shooting very easy. The tear down video also shows how easily the camera is to repair, something that can't be guaranteed with some classic cameras. Is it a cheaply made and designed throw away camera, I don't believe so, when you look at the costs of film and developing and printing, the camera cost doesn't seem too high. Would I like to pay less, of course, who wouldn't, but I feel I am happy with my purchase.

@GerritADHS Месяц назад

I totally appreciate the effort of Pentax but they lost me with the bokeh mode and the focus settings. I’ll stick to my OM2 and the other Film cameras.

@cameracentretv Месяц назад

I think the idea about doing the bokeh mode is to make it as usable as possible, allowing for people who like the idea of film to jump into it with a modern approach

@GerritADHS Месяц назад

@@cameracentretv And I can totally understand that decision. But I ain’t sure who’s going to pay 500$ for this camera. We will see.
