The PENTAX 17 is a half-frame camera, capturing two 17mm x 24mm vertically oriented pictures within a single 35mm-format (36mm x 24mm) film frame, allowing 72 pictures to be taken with a standard 36 exposure roll of 35mm film. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eIn addition to the distinctive image quality created only by a film camera, the design of the PENTAX 17 incorporates manual operations unique to film photography: a selectable zone focus system, manual film winding, manual film advance lever, exposure compensation and ISO sensitivity adjustments, each with their own dials. It has a retro-inspired design, with the top and bottom covers made of a solid but lightweight magnesium alloy to optimize the camera body’s rigidity.\u003c!-- notionvc: f177984c-da52-4051-b759-7b427fe25e60 --\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThe PENTAX 17 features a newly developed 25mm F\/3.5 lens (equivalent to a 37mm lens in the standard 35mm format).
