The Pentax 17 is a disappointing stab at a modern film camera

When I heard that Pentax was releasing a new film camera, a first in almost 20 years for the company, I was ecstatic. You see, Ive been a photographer for over 10 years and learned the medium on film. All of my undergraduate photography classes were taught with 35mm SLR cameras using black and white film, and I taught film photography during my graduate school years. Even after all these years, Im passionate about the benefits of learning photography on film.
