Product Overview

The Pentax 17 Film Camera is built for shooters who want the charm of film without the fuss. This compact 35mm half‑frame body gives you up to twice as many shots per roll, paired with a newly developed HD PENTAX HF 25mm f/3.5 lens that’s sharp, contrasty and ready for everyday carry. Manual film winding, a bright optical viewfinder and solid magnesium‑alloy construction make it feel like a classic Pentax, just streamlined for modern use.

In the field, the 17 keeps things simple and fast. Zone focusing with six distance presets lets you lock in focus by feel, while auto‑exposure and seven shooting modes handle changing light from street scenes to night shots. ISO support from 50–3200 means you can run anything from slow colour stocks to punchy 400‑speed film. With its half‑frame 17 x 24 mm format, built‑in flash, CR2 power and tripod mount, the Pentax 17 is a practical, no‑nonsense film companion for travel, everyday carry and anyone keen to get hands‑on with film again.
