It reminds me when I went to Japan in 1998, I bought my point and shoot film camera and lots of 5 film rolls packs, and I was always carrying like 5 rolls of film everywhere I went. Everyday I spent like 2 rolls of films shooting, and the best part is that only on the second week I was there I took my films to develop and see the results, it was nothing like today, when you just take a picture and you can preview on your camera display, and can download to your computer and retouch it and publish on the same day. And the only pictures I didn't like were some that I took from fireworks at night, and some that I took inside the museum in Hiroshima, where I could not use the flash. At that time you could buy photographic films on vending machines near touristic attractions.

The shots are probably a bit underexposed (and the scans muddy) because the film is old. Rating colour neg film slower than the number printed on the box is normal (400 rated as 200 etc).

I gave some of these tips a whirl today, will tag you on IG when i upload it

Buy a used Z7ii, better resolution & highlight recovery.

Very informative and useful! Thank you for sharing. All of this (street photography and also Halloween) has me eve more excited about my upcoming trip to Japan.

Great video and shots. My camera arrived today and I'll be shooting the streets of London with it soon. I love the look and feel of the camera and I'm getting used to its quirks like the blue light functions. I learned a lot from this video so thanks so much for posting it!

Wow, alex is incredible, and I must say I liked his portraits a lot !

Please post your settings 🥹

Great video. Loved the shots. Impressed by the picture quality. Pentax 17 looks like a winner.

Always fun seeing you talk about cameras and make these cool shots! Gonna go to Japan later this year for the first time to take pictures myself!

I think it would be interesting to see this cam be used as the purpose its intended for, or at least most commonly seen used, to do double shots (the two shots relating somehow to each other) and have it as a 35mm scan of both. Perfect example woould be pairing the guy in black with the guy in white 18:55

I'm curious about how Pentax set the camera program. We all knew that: Aperture: F3.5 - F16 Shutter: 4s - 1/350s 1. When set to no flash P mode, when it is in low light, will it limit the shutter at 1/30s and warn you it is insufficient light, or it will go all the way down to 4s? 2. When set to Bokeh mode, using ISO 400 film under sunny day, will it shoot at F3.5 with 1/350s, or it will shoot at F16 with 1/350s? 3. When set to no flash Night mode, will it always prioritize shutter to 4s? or any range?

Not all heroes wear capes!

I realize that they're mostly in different classes from each other, but how would you say the 17 compares to, say, a good used Japanese K1000, or even the later Chinese-made K1000s? The 17 just strikes me as too hipsterish to be taken seriously. I could be wrong, and I hope I am, but it just strikes me that way.

Hey Lukasz, when you shoot these night scenes with neon lights, do you leave the WB on a particular setting? Thanks for another great video.

I suddenly understood something. The film manufacturers seemed to be doing something behind the scenes.

Hi! I'm curious what is your PC setup for photo editing? I need to update my setup soon and I would like to get some ideas what to get (monitor and pc hardware). Probably I don't need as good as you have but some tips would be nice :)

This Pentax 17 reminds me of the Yashica Samurai back in 1986.

I find zone focus is quite easy with half frame, and nice photos, I think overall the film could have been shot at 200 instead of 400.

Cool Photos. The film is definitely a little bit fucked tho.

Be sure to check out the video we did for the official PENTAX channel: ua-cam.com/video/_9sn-aaUhqU/v-deo.htmlsi=rm7RblJTWAaZdI7t

You cannot focus it in the P mode. It becomes a fixed focus hyperfocal camera. Even if you think you are changing focus by turning the focus dial. The focus is changed electronically when you push the shutter button, not mechanically.

I have about 50 rolls of film in my fridge crisper. 35mm, 127, 120, APS. Some than less than a year old - some maybe 10. Maybe 8 rolls Kodak Advantix b&w. Though some call this a p&s camera - you STILL have to know the camera’s capabilities.😅 You have be conscious of how many frames have been used - you can’t SPRAY sounds like you can with a digital camera. People make way too much about the ASMR about the advance lever and shutter sounds.

Man, i really thought this could be something for me. Relatively small, fixed lens ... but somehow the quality doesn't quite convince me. The pictures never seem to be really that sharp and don't even come close to a Leica Minilux or Contax. Too bad. What is your opinion?

Pentax 17 on the streets, Mamiya 645 on the sheets

Does anyone have the address for the St.Basil cathedral house from this video?

What bag are you using there? Is it a camera bag? I'm looking for a camera bag that's not a backpack style!

Tks for the new camera but I don’t need it, tons of better vintage choices with cheaper price

I stop shooting film in 2012. Starting watching UA-cam vids on photography around 2018. Was going to grab one of my old cameras and shoot some film during Covid, saw the price of batteries and film and said NOPE!! I'm digital forever going forward!

I haven't used a film camera for about 20 years. I can't really remember how much rolls of film cost but looking at the prices today, they seem more expensive relatively speaking than back then? When you were framing the shot of the chef up against the window, I was thinking "I hope he remembered the parallax error!"

I'm a Pentax 17 on the streets, a canon M50 in the sheets.

the memory lane bit was a nice little sequence. Good example of how it's actually is, and a couple nice shots in it as well ❤

What an awesome tutorial. Thank you for this.

The crow on the Wild One sign is art, even if just standing there instead of flying.

So much fun to be a "fly on the wall" like this as you explore and shoot. Thank you Lukasz & Axel!

I was over in Minowa today shooting in the old shopping arcade there with my Olympus Trip 35. For the kind of shooting I was doing the Pentax 17 would have been perfect. More control than the Olympus over exposure but still super simple for quick snapping. I blew through a roll of film in a couple of hours wishing I had a half frame so I could shoot more! I enjoy the zone focusing for that kind of photo walk and would sure make use of the closer focusing abilities of the Pentax if I had it. I went over to Bic Camera Ikebukuro to ask when the Pentax will go on sale and they weren’t sure yet. I can’t wait to try one! Thanks for the fun video.

Came to see some Japanese street girls, but I should’ve known better.

Should have upped the ISO a stop on that old film and maybe gone 1.5 to 2 over on the sky stuff. Film can handle highlights very well as far as over exposure, it is the opposite of digital for shadows and highlights. I have seen prints in the years past where the sky was there in the negative and the lab blew it out in the print. Bad prints from labs were an increasing problem in the 80's and 90's drove me into slides. It would drive me nuts not knowing the shutter speed, I can live with an unknown aperture, even though I would like to know it. It is a point and shoot, so, unknowns are to be expected. Crap disposables use constant small f-stops and lousy fixed shutter speeds for equally lousy results. I get it, it keeps things cheap, but still it sucks. If they had made a camera with a bit more manual possibilities they would have gotten my money for sure. But they are targeting someone else. Pleasant video. Best wishes!

Love the shots at the busstop!

Nice one, all the other reviews have been going through specs - you just hit the streets and show how it performs. Nice one!

Nice video! The playfulness of the camera and the fun you had experimenting come across well. Good move by Ricoh giving you early access; you’ve successfully triggered my lingering wish to try out film. Love the architecture shot at 20:20 !

Excellent part beside this video, the one you've made on the pentax official video, very cool product's introducing 👌🏻

On 5:40 Can someone explain to me which photo is better? Unfortunately, I don't see any significant difference between 0 or +1.

I learned on film many years ago, starting with a Pentax K2000, then a Minolta SR-T 101. (A friend's father gave me pretty much unlimited use of his.) I think you're looking at film the wrong way. Limiting yourself because of the number of shots available is the wrong method. Just bring more film. Back when film was all there was, a pro photographer shooting a model was happy to get 1 keeper out of a roll of 24; 2 keepers was fantastic! My first real shoot (in 1971, at the age of 14) was at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington National Cemetery, and I think I went through 3 rolls of 36 during the Changing of the Guard- which is about 15 minutes long. I discarded dozens of shots, but the keepers won me a prize at my first photo competition. (Could be they were rolls of 24- it was a long time ago!) Also, the half-frame seems silly to my. It seems an answer in search of a question. Why half frame? just to get double the film? Seems silly. Bring more film. It doesn't take more than 30 seconds to rewind and change rolls. Developing cost? These days, the cost of a good film camera is 1/10 the price of a digital, so you can develop a LOT of film, and still have spent less than a full-frame digital. Get yourself a real film camera, like a Nikon F3 (or, because your a digital guy a Nikon F100, the second-best film camera ever made) about 4 rolls of film, and go out and shoot with abandon: you'll find it's just as satisfying as any digital, and the shots will be just as good. In fact, it can be better: film grain, light, and having a fixed ASA (what is now called ISO) can make for some amazing looks. I'll never get rid of my Canon digital gear, but when I want to go out and have some real fun, I still reach for the F100, the F3, even the K2000, day or night. ..Joe

I'm only at the 1st image and for 400 iso i was shocked when i zoomed in at just how much grain/noise is in the image compared to a digital at the same iso. I don't not like it though btw and have actually started to embrace noisy images especially in low light environments, now lets continue with the video 😂 Finished and really enjoyed this one, i have a late 70s polaroid and an Agfa clack i want to try out for some general daytime street photography and this video has given me the motivation to go through with it

Great video :) I will bring my own Pentax 17 along to my Japan trip. Hopefully the film will survive the travel back :D

You got some fantastic shots in the walk 😊 I would love to see you guys do more frequent walks. Looks like a fun camera

Would have been a cool shot at the end with the toilet sign and that woman with the blue hat & the red paper lamps. Perfect matching colors

After watching this, I feel a lot better about my Olympus E-PM1. Also, I feel the urge to buy a refurbished Olympus PEN EES-2 (1968-1971).
