## Overview

The PENTAX 17 is a half-frame 35mm film camera that doubles your shots per roll by capturing vertical 17x24mm images. Featuring a durable magnesium alloy body, a six-zone manual focus system, and a high-definition 25mm F3.5 lens, it blends retro aesthetics with precise manual control. Ideal for both seasoned film enthusiasts and new analog explorers, it offers up to 72 images per roll and a tactile film-winding experience that revives the joy of classic photography.

## Description

The PENTAX 17 was developed using a vast amount of knowhow and technology which RICOH IMAGING/PENTAX had accumulated over the years, with experts and younger engineers working closely together. The camera was designed to allow photographers to express their originality and creativity by leaving some room for manual operation, rather than making it a fully automatic camera. The PENTAX 17 lets photographers fully enjoy the world of film cameras — the origin of photography. 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.

## Features

- Half-Frame Format: 35mm compact film camera capturing two 17mm x 24mm images within a single 35mm film exposure (2x more pictures per roll)
- Retro-Inspired Design: Top and bottom covers made of solid, lightweight magnesium alloy for durability and classic aesthetics
- Zone-Focus System: From close ranges to long distances, the zone-focus system is divided into six zones. Set the camera's focus by simply selecting the mark best suited for the distance to your subject
- Manual Film-Winding Mechanism: Features a film advance lever to recreate the feel of a traditional film camera. The lever is designed for optimal finger hold to improve the feel of the film-winding action after each shutter release
- High-Quality Lens: Features a 25mm F3.5 lens (equivalent to a 37mm lens in the 35mm format). This lens is treated with HD (High Definition) coating to optimize the image quality of half-size pictures
- Vertical Half-Frame Orientation: Captures up to 72 images per roll with a vertical orientation, allowing for extended shooting sessions and creative composition possibilities
