I'm a disappointed with the result of the big build-up to the #Pentax17. I totally get what they've made, something for the swarm of TikTok users buying the Fujifilm X100 - trendy, pricey but automatic like an old Olympus half-frame.
It's not for me. If they bring out a 17M fully-manual with a 35mm equivalent lens, continuous focus ring with 'proper' distance markings, perhaps f2.8 or brighter, a film box end holder, no +/- dual, an aperture ring, let me know.
