#believeinfilm new Pentax film camera update just dropped!!
- Camera will be Half-frame, with photos being in vertical format
- Planning to incorporate manually set zone focusing system
- Electronically controlled shutter & aperture, some settings can be overridden
- Plan to add winding mechanism & rewinding crank
- Lens design was inspired by the Ricoh Auto Half (25mm f2.8, 4/3 design) & Pentax Espio Mini (32mm f3.5, 3/3 design)

@Huginn87OG Why, just why? Even back in the days half frame was an extreme niche …

@erik They said in the video it was aimed more towards the younger generation (since they use various social media sites) & due to the high cost of film

@Huginn87OG @erik Why would they use a film camera for posting to social media sites?

@ryanroberts @Huginn87OG @erik That is, in fact, a thing people do. Look at all of us in the #BelieveInFilm hashtag 🙂
