The Pentax 17 genuinely surprised me—especially the sharpness and how easy it is to just keep it on Auto and work fast. As a half-frame camera, getting 72 exposures makes it a really fun companion for weddings when I want extra candids, guest moments, or a weird film-stock side quest.
Pros
- +Half-frame: 72 exposures on a 36-exp roll
- +Auto mode works incredibly well and is easy in a wedding workflow
- +Sharp, satisfying results for such a small camera
- +Lightweight and simple enough to hand to a second shooter
Cons
- -Can feel dinky/toy-like in-hand
- -Easy to overshoot and get less thoughtful with composition
- -I wouldn’t trust it for the biggest “prized moments”
- -Auto mode button can get misaligned when advancing (annoying in the moment)
