Pentax to produce new film cameras. Let's discuss.
Quote from kcphotogeek on June 27, 2024, 3:07 pmI know the Pentax 17 doesn't make sense price wise, sure in the Philippines it's even more expensive despite the fact that it's likely to have been assembled here. But photography often doesn't make sense this is about experience and enjoyment, if the 600USD after tax/delivery gives you 8-10 days worth of shooting that you enjoy it's probably worth it. Plus I have a feeling this camera may hold it's value quite well, I can't see Pentax making that many before moving on to another "Film Project" camera
