The PENTAX 17 film camera is praised for its high-quality images and impressive build. It uses standard 35mm film and features a fixed HD PENTAX 25mm lens. The camera offers a half-frame format, allowing for more pictures per roll, and includes a flash and filter compatibility. However, it lacks zoom, autofocus, and weather resistance.

"Just got mine 2 week ago and I'm still hyped with my p17. This is more than a half-frame camera. All sceptical people (not me) after using it they just end up loving the tiny beautiful thing."
"I bought my Pentax 17 directly from the official Pentax store because I wanted my purchase to support the Film Camera Project itself. I already own other film and digital cameras, so this was not a purchase made because I lacked a camera. I bought it because I believe there is value in having genuinely new film cameras being designed and manufactured today. One of the things I appreciate most about the Pentax 17 is precisely what some people may initially consider its limitation: the half-frame format. Not every photograph needs a large negative whose value is measured by how far we can zoom into the scan and inspect the grain. Sometimes the value of a photograph is simply in what is visible immediately: the composition, the light, the relationship between elements and the moment itself. With the right film, half-frame can also provide surprisingly high image quality. A fine-grain film can extract a great deal from the Pentax 17 and its 25mm f/3. 5 lens. For me, that makes the format a deliberate photographic choice rather than a compromise. The approximately 72 exposures from a 36-exposure roll also change the way I photograph. I can think in sequences, pairs and diptychs, and I can use film more freely without feeling that every individual exposure needs to justify the entire area of a 35mm frame. I also enjoy the physical character of the camera. I like its different materials and textures, its manual film advance and the fact that it retains enough manual interaction to remind me that I am using film. It does not try to remove the photographer from the process. There are details I would improve. For example, I would like the mode dial to have greater resistance or some protection against accidental movement while advancing the film. But I do not see these things as reasons to reject the camera. To me, they are exactly the kind of details that can evolve in future members of the system. And that is perhaps my strongest opinion about the Pentax 17: I do not want it to remain alone. I see it as the first member of a modern Pentax film-camera family. I would happily buy a full-frame 35mm sister camera that complements the Pentax 17 rather than replaces it — perhaps with aperture priority, shutter priority, manual exposure and more precise focusing assistance. The existence of such a camera would not make the Pentax 17 obsolete. Quite the opposite: each camera's limitations and strengths would give the other a reason to exist. I do not believe every camera needs to do everything. The limitations of the Pentax 17 are part of what makes it enjoyable. They shift attention away from technical perfection and back toward seeing the photograph, choosing the moment and pressing the shutter. A more advanced 35mm Pentax could then offer the additional control when the photograph actually requires it. For that reason, I hope the Film Camera Project continues actively. From what I have seen, even photographers who initially approach the Pentax 17 with skepticism often seem to understand its appeal once they actually use it. It is a strange little camera in the best possible sense: the more you use it, the more its decisions begin to make sense. I would be very happy to own not just one modern Pentax film camera, but a modern family of Pentax film cameras. The Pentax 17 should not be the conclusion of the project. It should be the beginning."
"I admire the camera for its classic design which reminds me of my two Pentax MX cameras I had in the 1980s . I haven't bought an i7 because I still have my Rollei 35S , which was my compact camera from that era , and it is full frame . Several others here have asked for a full frame camera , and from the number of requests it is clear there is demand . For myself , I would love to see a reissue of the LX : best SLR ever made by any manufacturer and with its 50th anniversary approaching , at least a limited run of commemorative models would be in order . I used my two LX bodies professionally for over 20 years , with two MX bodies which I bought first and kept as backup units . Although I bought two *istD when they came out , then later a K-3 and a K-01 , I continued to shoot 35mm film until the K-1 was introduced at which point I bought two , and still use them to this day . Now that I have retired , I may go back to using my LX , and my Rollei TLRs ."
"The camera is great, i was at first scheptical about half frame but the photos are extremly sharp. Love it!"
"I love this camera however… please make the full frame version of this! And use higher quality build materials. This camera takes beautiful images there is no doubt but we want a stepped up version."
"Please do a full frame modern film camera"
"awesome"
"Love this film camera, thank you Pentax/ricoh for producing this. Please make another film camera so we don’t have to spend 5 grand on a leica film camera…. but i would like better build quality on the next iteration. People are moaning about the price but you are paying for a product that was built from the ground up and if you want another film camera from this great company then you have to invest."
"Very nice look and high quality feel, actually pretty lightweight but not in a bad way. Love the manual film advance mechanism and the amount of details in this camera. Takes some time to get used to the „different“ focus wheel but straightforward after a few shots. Only thing to pay attention to is to remove the lens cap, but there is a warning led just in case. Definitely would buy again, good job"
"Ich bin sehr glücklich mit der Kamera. Am Anfang war ich skeptisch, was die unterschiedlichen Aufnahme-Modi betrifft. Aber in der Praxis haben sich die Aufnahme-Modi sehr bewährt. Auch die Qualität der Kamera ist sehr hoch."
