About this item

  • 35mm compact film camera capturing two 17mm x 24mm images within a single 35mm format ( 2x more pictures per roll)
  • Retro-inspired design with top and bottom covers made of solid, lightweight magnesium alloy
  • 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 featuring a film advance lever, to recreate the feel of a traditional film camera. To improve the feel of the film-winding action after each shutter release, this lever is designed for optimal finger hold.
  • Features a 25mm F3.5 lens (equivalent to a 37mm lens in the 35mm format). This lens is treated with HD (High Definition) coating – highly acclaimed through its application on PENTAX SLR lenses – to optimize the image quality of half-size pictures.


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.

Very well build and light camera. Need to read the manual but overall very easy to operate. You can get some amazing nostalgic photos that todays best smartphone can’t provide.

Great starter camera for beginners. Also you purchasing new hopefully it’s in good working condition. With used cameras that always a risky purchase.It’s easy to use lightweight.

Build quality 10/10.Operation 10/10.It looks amazing. It feels great It works good. For me.... it's too small and feels cheep. It's not.... but that's how it feels. It shoots half frame which is a money saver. But for film.. it's all about the feeling. And this feels too cheep. I have a 1986 nikon F2 and I'd rather use that. This was very nice and fun though.
