Description

"IT'S TIME FOR FILMS"

The PENTAX 17 was designed using the vast expertise and technologies accumulated by RICOH IMAGING / PENTAX over the years, through close collaboration between experts and young engineers. The camera was designed to allow photographers to express their originality and creativity by leaving room for manual use, rather than making it an entirely automatic model.
