Grainydays video on the new #Pentax17. A half-frame camera is not for me, but I very much hope it is for someone. #BelieveInFilm

yeah, it's definitely not everything I want but it's pretty nice to have a modern film camera. I'll probably snag one to encourage them to develop something more advanced. Plus half frame are fun to shoot on vacation. Out and about I like to get snapshots and not necessarily drag the backpack full of gear around (although that can be fun too).

I only do digital and had never heard the term "half-frame" before the news articles about this camera came out, so at least I learned something new.

With all those great cameras still around which are older than we are (well, most us): I am not getting it. Half frame is not cutting it. Usability looks weird (exposure compensation wheel).

weird camera. Guess I’ll stick with my ancient F3.
