Film photography is back in vogue, yet you wouldn’t realize it when looking for a camera. Major brands haven’t released an analog film camera in literal decades.
This year marked a turning point.
The Pentax 17 is a contemporary half-frame 35mm film camera that captures images in a vertical alignment measuring 17mm (width) x 24mm (height). This feature allows it to take double the number of photos per roll compared to a full-frame 35mm film camera, making the expense of film more manageable.

Beyond the Pentax 17’s distinctive vintage style, the camera evokes a sense of nostalgia in various other aspects. It features fully-manual focus, a thumb winder for the manual advancement of film, and it even utilizes a CR2 battery (yes, the type that requires replacement) expected to last for ten rolls of film.
