- The Pentax 17 is an old school film camera with a modern twist – it shoots two ‘half' images on a single 35 mm frame
- Shooting half frames means you get double the photos from a single roll of film, helping you save on processing costs
- You can shoot in auto or program modes with or without flash, so you can play around with exposures
- Discover the joy of manual camera operation like winding the film using the film advance lever
