Hmm interesting … erk 😅

Love the review, it's a good looking camera but I agree with you that it isn't perfect. My problem with this camera, as a relative beginner myself, is that the value isn't there. You made a great argument for the price not being outrageous compared to similar film camera release prices, but my counterpoint is that those cameras provided more functionality at that price point. Sure, "value" calculations get iffy if you bring in compatibility with other lenses (which aren't free) with the convenience of the Pentax 17, but that is precisely the problem. The Pentax 17, as a new film camera, has to compete with all of the existing gear available at resale in the eyes of a new potential photographer. Compared to resale offerings, this camera still has plenty of use for it's convenience factor, but is it one you'd want to learn photography with? It really seems like it wouldn't be a bad choice for someone's first camera, but is less appealing as someone's first camera with the intent to get deeply involved in photography. At the $500 price point, it's hard to imagine it would beat the starting bundle you could put together secondhand. Now, as a gift for someone else? Maaaaybe. At best, it seems like the target audience is people already entrenched in the hobby who are curious as to what a modern film camera looks and feels like. $500 isn't so bad when you're already have spent more than you'd care to keep track of on other cameras and lenses. In that context, it's a great deal that you have an entire new camera to play with that can fill a number of niches, whether it be as a new daily carry, an intro to half frame shots, or just something modern for the shelf collection. If this doesn't land with the big splash Ricoh Imaging/Pentax was hoping for with their Film Project initiative, I hope they keep at it. As for the Pentax 17, maybe I'll find one of these for cheap in 15 years at a yard sale if the build quality isn't an issue.

I found my uncle’s old Pentax K-2 and I realized how much I miss holding real photos. I grew up in the digital age but, I remember using disposable film cameras whenever I went on vacation as a kid. I miss the keepsakes that come from film photography. It’s so easy just to let pictures live on an SD card, a hard drive, or a phone that the family photo albums lay empty for decades.

Olympus OM1 good or not?

The videography here is delightful!

Gold 200 is king, without question. But Portra 400 is Gold 200's super version; it's on a different level. Actually, for beginners, Portra 400 is a better choice as it's really easy to use and has lots of room for error.

You look like ruben bentancourt, search him

I think this looked really fun and was a great idea for a video.

Do you still zoom in the camera itself

How you can not make photography a habit when you live in the Alps is a little startling, to say the least. You have no end of stunning things to point a camera at and take a decent image. Live in a non descript place then try making photography a habit! Anyway, the variety of shots was intetesting to see.

Do people in Japan generally mind you taking their photos on the street? Wondering if it's normal or considered impolite! Thinking about doing a trip of my own and would love to know ahead of time...

I love the half frame. But the body is too big. It's another brick that really just doesn't fit in a normal pocket. It appears that the image quality isn't spectacular. I'll stay with my ME Super. I know its not pocket size but it fits my hands really nice.

What is the title of the song at the beginning of the video? The vibe of it is 🤌🏻

please don't ever delete this video i love it so much 🥺

im kinda shocked the stock in Tokyo/Japan is like gone...thanks for a great video I should of snagged one when it was up for reservation. I tried it at the Pentax Club House in Tokyo and I have to admit... this camera is not a flop...its a total success hoping to snag the second batch when it goes for sale

I am glad you mentioned the Olympus XA. I think people were expecting a K1000 but its actually closer to an reborn XA just half frame.

Teach me which camera I need to buy if I want to photograph and also take video with it?

"Best camera ever"??? You obviously have never shot with a Polaroid 600SE or a 180. This plastic lenses abomination is an overpriced joke.

Thank you for the tip 😊 wishing you success 😊

Innsbruck😜

Deinen Kanal kürzlich entdeckt und feier deinen Style total! Bist du Halb-Engländer, wie es dein Name und akzentfreies Englisch vermuten lässt?

I love that you pull out a big Bowie-like knife to unbox the camera😂.

Great video. I do agree that a bog standard full frame or "normal" 35mm camera would have been better; i would have bought one in a second. However; when you look at the size of the camera itself; i do think the chassis is capable of holding a standard 35mm configuration. The frame window has to be made differently, the film advance and potentially the lens.

i love these brazilian songs

Loved watching this, thank you :) Was wondering which camera Flo is holding?

I want you to know how much I find your videos a soothing balm to my soul. Your view of the world is full of kindness, curiosity, and joy in the smallest things. I share your attitude towards adding a little positivity to the world. Your voice is tender and humorous, with a humility to downgrade your own photos, which are always fantastic in the humanities they present. I sometimes even listen to them without watching while doing dishes, just letting your ideas in photography flows into my unconscious mind. Thank you again, and keep up the great work.

FYI anyone wondering about the safety of crossing ski fields... be very careful. Without the righ shoes it is possible to slide down and not stop. I did this recently and nearly died. I was only wear trail runners. Use common sense and wear snow shoes.

hmmm where in switzerland did you film this? I just returned from switzerland and it reminds me of my holiday. Was it the north face trail?

i love how you made what is pretty much a simply yet excellently produced short film talking about how you did a commercial instead of a short film

Very interesting video. 👍

Love our filmography and colour grading! May I ask how you film the super close shots in 0:02, 0:05 and 15:00?

11:52 Entschuidig di nit, es wor herzerwärmend! 😄❤

How do you achieve this color grading? do you have by chance a LUT cube file for it? nice vid!

How is called the first song of the intro?

Id rather buy an older film camera and use that instead what is the point in buying an overpriced cropped frame is not even a real 35mm .. so you're buying a cropped frame film camera what's the point !!! just a gimmick

7:09 is just so good!

First of all fantastic video, these are the types of reviews i love to watch, rich in detail and seemingly unbiased. It's an interesting idea to create a "new" film camera in a digitally dominant age, however, i think i speak for many film photographers when i say that in 2024, what we want is a true manual, digital/film camera hybrid that has a digital sensor to preview our shots after every exposure, it's the logical step in "new" film camera technological development. The body of a manual film camera that shoots film, with full manual exposure control, the viewfinder of a highend digital camera like for instance an A7R, that uses the film camera's light meter to give an accurate preview of the film camera's exposure before and after every shutter release. And before people start commenting "ohhh but that's the magic of film is to learn exposure and know how to properly expose and have to wait to develop your film before you get to view your shots!" That's absolutely fine, go buy literally any other film camera that has ever been created. My point is simply this, film is expensive, developing film is expensive, it's time consuming, it's not good for the environment, you can be the greatest film photographer in the world and still have occasional shit exposures, it happens to me, it happens to you, it happens to them too. Why not have a camera that can alleviate any wasted shots entirely, a perfect exposure, every time, a blending of digital technology with analog hardware and film light metering? We have the technology for both, we just need someone to blend them gracefully. I know there are some kickstarter projects related to this but i would love to see a big name like pentax, nikon, canon or fujifilm step up and make this become a reality. Just my thoughts.

Love it! Love your color grading when hiking up the mountain bro.

When you took those shots, did you overexpose your image, or did you just set the settings that the app told you to?

👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

My camera has 500 as the max shutter speed what do i do if the app tells me to use a higher shutter speed that I don't have ??

Hello, Why are some pictures very-wide-angle like ? Does Pentax already have add-on lenses ?

Beautiful beautiful review, it brings back the memories from Innsbruck. I can totally agree with your points ❤

I found my moms konica pop ef-7 hahaha but I don’t know if I capture image to negative film hahaha

An amazing video like always !! 🎉

I love your color pictures. May I have the preset!

How do you know when to use exposure compensation? I also have the XA3 and the Pentax 17 both with exposure compensation. I had thought that the +1.5 exposure on the XA3 was for when a subject had bright light behind it in order to increase the exposure of the subject, but I also feel like I’d just be guessing most of the time

How do yall find out what the original film stock is before it gets re-produced or re-branded?

you got me convinced. I neber take my Sony A7c (literally never!) and only shoot film and this seems coool and light. great vid!

Where dude you buy film in Japan?
