Pentax 17 - NEW 35mm film camera

First new film camera in decades!

I’m hoping this will break open the market for new film cameras and eventually affordable prices.

I think I will save up to buy it even if it is slightly expensive and i have a lot of film cameras. I just don’t want film industry to die out.

Is it normal that if you want to take photos with a flash in the evening, you can't see anything in the viewfinder because the orange lamp is blinding?

It’s also built like a tank with plenty of steel parts inside

I can excuse half frame. I quite like the look. I can handle zone focusing just fine but I feel like that was a mistake. It’s been said a million times but who is the camera for, exactly? New photographers will run for the hills when they learn how to focus this. Experienced photographers will run when they learn it’s half frame.

This one should not be 500-600$. This is a point and shoot that trying to look like a good manual camera

Badly thought out, if you shoot in low light and try to use the built-in flash you can't see anything through the viewfinder because the flash-ready light is so bright. Returning mine.

Definitely fucking expensive for 500$ for what it is 😂😂

For vacations yes no one would steel it 😅

Overpriced. Buy an old Canon ae or Program If you want use Film.

This is a useless expensive toy. Buy a used reflex.
