Congratulations design team. I think you are already writing a piece of history with the new Pentax 17. I think there is enough demand to make more beautiful models in the future. Even if it happens once every few years. Analog photography will always exist and I think it is a clever and daring project. Good luck and I will definitely purchase the Pentax 17. Regards Pieter.
Thank you for bringing back film camera. I prefer holding a photo in my hand than looking at it on computer. The warmth, feel, and colour of the film photography is unmatched by digital photography. Hopefully Pentax 17 will set the trend for camera manufacturers to make more film cameras. It's time for film!

Большое вам спасибо за эту огромную работу . Энтузиазм и страсть !!! Pentax вы молодцы !!!
How could I not be in love with Pentax? You guys have just made something that puts romanticism back into photography. Despite any possible commercial success this camera can have, time will speak, you have already won by releasing this. Shot picture with love.

TKO is a one man marketing machine, let alone project manager! His charm and enthusiasm are so infectious.
Congratulations TKO, all the people working on the Film Project and Pentax! I'm extremely excited and I can't wait to get my hands on a new Pentax 17. TKO, your joy, enthusiasm and passion were humbling to watch - thank you for sharing it with us.
Veramente un bellissimo progetto per portare la fotografia analogica a tutti permettendo di sperimentare in diversi modi. Ne prenderò sicuramente una per testarla in prima persona e spero ci siano progetti futuri in ambito di fotocamere a pellicola. Grazie 🙏
La mejor noticia del año sin duda para fotografía analógica y para la fotografía en general. Un vídeo muy motivador. Hay que agradecer el esfuerzo y dedicación de Pentax.

Отличное повествование от влюбленного в дело/идею/философию человека!
Habe früher analog, dann digital und dann nur noch mit dem iPhone fotografiert. Vor allen Dingen die Fotografie mit dem Smartphone war nie befriedigend für mich! Ich bin nun vor einiger Zeit auf die Pentax 17 aufmerksam geworden. Eine sehr sehr schöne Kamera! Ich liebe Retro und analog! Nachdem ich dieses sympathische Video gesehen habe, werde ich sie mir kaufen! Freue mich wie ein kleines Kind auf die Kamera und hoffe auf einen großen Erfolg und ein wiederbeleben alter Technik. 👍

Congratulations to all the engineers and others at Pentax who worked to make this reality. Just like I said I would when the Pentax first announced this project, I preordered the Pentax 17 the moment it went live. I can’t wait to get it and start using it!

Pentax 17 is exactly what I am looking for. I’m not a professional photographer, I have used mirrorless camera for a few years. Sometimes, I would like to try film camera because of its retro style and feelings. I would like to own a film camera that is not expensive and easy to use. I used disposable film camera, but I want more. Thus, a high-quality point-to-shoot camera is a good choice for me. And Pentax 17 is the best choice for me. I’m really looking forward to Pentax 17 selling in Hong Kong.😃

Congratulations! Although I don’t really need it, I ordered the camera today just to support the future of this project. I hope we will see a fully mechanical medium format camera with warranty & service from PENTAX in the future 🙏❤ Meanwhile: PENTAX! PENTAX! PENTAX! 🙂
Thank you! This announcement has me smiling ear to ear and cheering you on from my seat. I'm proud of you and PENTAX for upholding the simple joy of analogue photography, and to be part of the story with my own PENTAX cameras!

This isn't for me, though I may still buy one to support your PENTAX film project, but I think you nailed what you were going for, and I think the target audience will like it a lot. The 72 shots per 36 roll, allows people to shoot more like they do with digital, not worrying too much about how many are left, and the smaller size negative emphasises the film grain, which with a lot of modern film is much reduced, so giving the sought-after film look more readily. Great idea for an introductory camera, and really well designed and executed. Personally I'd love to see a similar camera but going the other way in film size to an X-PAN 24x65mm size negative, and a 45mm lens focusing in the same way as this model (perhaps without the macro distance). The film winder would probably have to be electronic, or a manual knob, rather than a lever, but having a new X-PAN camera (PENTAX-PAN) at an affordable price would be great, and I think would make a wonderful companion to this half frame camera.

How amazing times ahead....thank you for your enthusiasm and dedication to this project...without it film photography might have had no future. I would definitely like to get one and support the future of analog camera making and all that is involved..
Congratulations, I have ordered one and look forward to using it and passing the joy of analog photography on to my granddaughter. The design elements paying homage to previous camera models was a lovely choice, thank you.
