Pre-order the New hype Pentax 17 film camera for $499

Film Nostalgia but don’t want a cheapo P&S film camera or an old film SLR? Fear not, Pentax comes to the rescue with the first fruits of the labor of their two year old film project. It’s a brand new film camera! It’s the Pentax 17 and it is available for pre-ordering for $500 at B&H Photo. This is a 35mm half frame (not full frame) camera and as such, it takes regular 35mm film but puts two half/vertical exposures on each frame. So you get to shoot twice as many pictures per roll.

This is a fixed lens camera with a glued-on 25mm f3.5 lens. All the work into the Ricoh GR series did not go to waste 🙂

You can learn more about in the TLDR 5 minute B&H video, followed by a 35 minute (35mm pun intended?) panel discussion between two Pentax representatives and B&H. YouTube-embedded below for your convenience. No, I won’t embed them in half-frame 😉

CORRECTION
The previous two links to the NewEgg dailies in previous posts were pointing to Best Buy instead. They have now been corrected. This is another iteration of the “sticky cut and paste problem”. Similar to Cixin Liu’s “Three Body Problem” 😉

Basically the “cut” of the intended link does not work for some reason, and when you “paste”, you paste the previously copied link. When you are not totally concentrated in the HTML code, you do not notice it.

Then the next time, you simply “cut and paste” the previous NewEgg link, and once again, if you are not totally concentrated in the HTML code, you do not notice it.

And it continues until one of the readers, or until I notice it 🙂
