Pentax 17
The Pentax 17 is the most exciting new film camera in years — a half-frame 35mm compact with real manual controls, a genuinely sharp 25mm f/3.5 lens, and a build quality that puts most disposables to shame. It shoots two frames per 35mm frame, meaning a 36-exposure roll gives you 72 shots and a natural diptych format. Released in 2024, it proves there is a real appetite for thoughtfully designed new film cameras.
GearFrame's Take
The best new film camera of the decade — manual controls, a sharp lens, and a half-frame format that doubles your roll and forces a new way of seeing.
