PENTAX 17 UNBOXING, with test photos!

What’s up guys! My name is Tim, I work at a film lab in Mesa, AZ. We recently bought a Pentax 17 half frame camera and I wanted to shoot a test roll and give an honest review! Check out my work @film.rn as well as the lab @strapfilmlab on instagram! Thanks for watching :)

People saying this thing is overpriced. But a film camera that isn't over 20-30 years old is a blessing. Not only that more competition should bring down the prices of other used cameras. Also we just need the film market to grow to keep it from going extinct. Just wishing these companies success because it's good for all us film shooters. Now Pentax please make a new medium format camera. Thanks bye.

Pentax says the top and bottom are magnesium alloy. Can you tell for sure if it's the alloy or plastic? Also someone said the two screws on the front are decorative only. Can you tell?

[@FreezerKing]

It is magnesium

[@Naroomsc2]

​@@FreezerKing Certainly why it feel light :)

[@FreezerKing]

@@Naroomsc2 Yeah, the camera has the perfect weight to it without feeling cheap. The dials and such have a nice feel to them

I still have no idea whos the target customer here. Its overpriced half-frame camera with mediocre fixed lens. You can get Olympus OM series of old Minoltas for quarter of the price and these are full frame SLRs.
