What’s the half-size format?
Film comes in many formats, but the most popular is the 35mm format (36mm x 24mm frame size) — what we call full size in digital photography. The half size is a format in which two pictures (17mm x 24mm) are captured in a single 35mm-format frame, meaning that you can double the number of pictures that can be captured on a single roll of film — 72 pictures on a roll of 36-expsoure film, or 48 pictures on 24-exposure film.
Main features of PENTAX 17
Half-size format for capturing a large number of pictures
The PENTAX 17 is a half-size-format camera that employs a left-to-right film advance mechanism. When positioned in the normal way, it captures vertical-format pictures, identical to the familiar images captured by smartphones.
Film advance lever with a nostalgic film camera look
The PENTAX 17 uses a 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.
Fixed-focus lens to optimize image quality
The PENTAX 17 features a 25mm F3.5 fixed-focus 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. As the result, the PENTAX 17 delivers sharp, clear images.
Bright optical viewfinder to assure sharp subject image
The PENTAX 17’s optical viewfinder features an Albada-type bright frame finder. It also comes with a close-up visual field compensation frame to help you more easily compose close-up images. It is possible to check the zone marks directly through the viewfinder.
Main features of PENTAX 17
Seven shooting modes to accommodate different applications
The PENTAX 17 automatically adjusts exposure settings based on the lighting data collected by its metering sensor. In addition to the Full Auto mode in which all exposure settings are selected by the camera, it provides six other shooting modes, including: Slow-speed sync, which is highly useful in twilight photography; and Bulb, which comes in handy for photographing nightscapes and fireworks.
Exposure compensation mechanism for easy adjustment of brightness level
The PENTAX 17 features an independent exposure compensation dial, which lets you swiftly shift the exposure level with a simple turn, making it handy in backlit situations or in adding creative touches.
Zone-focus system to switch the in-focus area based on the subject distance
From close ranges to long distances, the PENTAX 17’s zone-focus system is divided into six zones, indicated by marks that signify each zone. All you have to do to set the camera’s focus is select the mark best suited for the distance to your subject.
Set the ISO sensitivity manually
Since the PENTAX 17 lets you manually select the ISO sensitivity setting from 50, 100, 125, 160, 200, 400, 800, 1600 and 3200, it lets you try and enjoy different types of film
Main features of PENTAX 17
Enjoy manual film winding/rewinding actions
The PENTAX 17 features an easy-loading system to prevent film-loading errors. Just insert the roll of film and pull the film leader to the film end indicator, close the camera’s back cover, and manually keep winding the film until the film counter reaches “0” (zero). After finishing the roll of film, manually rewind it to complete the manual winding/rewinding actions which are only available with film cameras
Note holder to keep track of the film in use
By cutting out the end of the film package and inserting it into the camera’s note holder, you can keep track of the type of film in use with just a quick glance
Indicator lamps to inform camera operation status and provide warnings
The PENTAX 17 provides two indicator lamps to the right of the viewfinder eyepiece. These blink as warnings to prevent operational errors, when you attempt to take pictures with the lens cap on, fail to wind the film to the next frame, or set the focus zone to Tabletop or Macro
Cable switch option, useful in extended-exposure photography
The PENTAX 17 accepts the optional CS-205 Cable Switch, which comes in handy when using a tripod for scenic photography or employing extended exposures in bulb-mode shooting. The cable switch helps you capture sharp, clear photos by minimizing camera shake

5.0 out of 5 stars Zero regrets getting this!
Verified PurchaseIt’s been ages since I last picked up a film camera and to be honest, I bought this on a whim hoping to relieve some old glory days. I’m so glad I did. It’s reawakened a long forgotten passion for the medium and it’s downright fun. Is it a pro level camera? Probably not but it’s still awesome and takes great pics. Plus if you’re just getting into film or rediscovering it, what better way to get into it than with 72 exposures. The build quality is good, it’s small enough you can take anywhere, and once you get used to it, the zone focus is just fine. You can also put it in program and use it like a point and shoot (mostly).

5.0 out of 5 stars Great camera !
Verified PurchaseSo far I really like this camera. It took me a little while to get used to the zone focus system and the manual it comes with is not very in depth. However, after some practice and watching some YouTube tutorials I feel comfortable with it. It is now my go to EDC camera and slips into a jacket pocket fairly comfortably. I haven’t messed with the macro or bulb functions much but I plan to experiment going forward. Attached are a few of my photos with this camera, I highly recommend getting medium or high resolution scans to maximize the potential of the half frame format. The only annoyance I have, is having to rely on a lens cap on such a (relatively) small camera, I am used to cameras of this size being point and shoots that have integrated lens covers. Not sure if that is just a “me” problem though.
Duke VonMeepGreat camera !

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun retro camera for casual sketching,a great camera in the right context.
Verified PurchaseGreat camera for disarming low-key film photography. People enjoy it being used around them, and it makes a roll of film last a long time. Zone focus is weird, but you get used to it. Viewfinder frames are just a suggestion, I find that most photos with this unit come out better if I pull back just a little (range-wise) right before releasing the practically silent shutter. Read the book so you know what the different light flash patterns mean and you're good to go.
