Pentax 17 35mm Film Camera
Product Details
Experience the joy and excitement of film photography, with this Pentax 17 35mm Half Frame camera. As a half frame camera, the Pentax 17 captures two 17x24mm pictures on a single frame of 35mm film, which allows you to capture double the images on a standard roll of film! By holding your Pentax 17 in the normal and natural way, you will capture vertical images, which will be familiar to smartphone users. The Pentax 17 camera is great for those who enjoy manual operation, with manual focusing and manual film advance being highlights, as well as an ISO dial and exposure compensation dial. This half frame film camera includes a versatile 25mm focal length fixed lens at the front, which is equivalent to a 37mm field of view, while the f3.5 maximum aperture is good for depth of field purposes and available light shooting.
The Pentax 17 35mm Half Frame camera has seven different shooting modes to choose from, so you can equip yourself to capture any situation. These modes include Full Auto, Slow-speed sync, Bulb and more. The Pentax 17 can focus on any subject using the effective zone focus system, which gives you 6 different zones to choose from, from close-up to long-distance; you just choose the appropriate zone manually. Using the Albada-type viewfinder, users of the Pentax 17 can confirm the framing of their subject expertly, with a close-up visual field compensation frame included for Macro work. In welcome news, the zone focuses settings we mentioned above are visible through the viewfinder!
The lens of the Pentax 17 35mm film camera is not only notable for its versatility, but also its performance. This lens has been designed to perfectly match the half frame format, while it also includes HD coating, a popular form of multi-layer coating, which leads to impressing clarity and image sharpness. The body of the Pentax 17 has been expertly crafted to match the look of retro film cameras but meet the demands of real-life users. The camera is sturdy, thanks to lightweight magnesium alloy being used on the camera's top and bottom plates.
Other Key Features of the Pentax 17:
- 40.5mm Filter Thread
- ISO Film Speed Selector: 50, 100, 125, 160, 200, 400, 800, 1600 and 3200
