The perfect 35mm half-frame film and camera bundle for getting started in film photography! 🙌🏼
You get: two of our best-selling 35mm films, the outstanding BRAND NEW Pentax 17 half-frame camera and a really nice Long Weekend bag (your choice of colour) to carry it all in - with an inbuilt discount!
The Pentax 17 Camera with Santa Fe bag & Films Bundle will ship direct to your front door via our FAST + TRACKED service. You'll even get a tracked postage label to the Lab included in your bundle, so you can send your films back to us for developing!
This Kit includes everything you need to begin creating analogue magic 🪄
Because this is a half-frame film camera, you get double the amount of shots from a standard roll of 35mm film. That is why we have included 24 exposures in this bundle - these will become rolls of 48 images - that is plenty to get you started on your journey with the Pentax 17.
What's Included?
> Pentax 17: The Pentax 17 camera is the brand new half-frame film camera from Pentax 🎉 and a highly significant launch for the analogue community - the first film camera to be produced by Pentax since 2003!
> Kodak Gold 24 exposure film: Kodak Gold 35mm film is a colour-negative film perfect for all types of photography. With its vibrant colours, fine grain and wide exposure latitude, it can handle any light you throw at it. A firm favourite for analogue photographers around the world!
> Ilford HP5 24 exposure film: the Number One black & white film in the UK 🏆 A fantastic film that is flexible and forgiving, and will give you incredible results regardless of the background lighting. A favourite of film shooters all over the world!
> Long Weekend Santa Fe Bag: Compact yet spacious, it's suitable for every kind of adventure, crafted to keep photographers organised while on the go. Wear it as a crossbody or shoulder bag with its adjustable strap for added convenience. Constructed from 500D recycled nylon and featuring a technical gridstop design, it ensures weatherproof durability in any environment. With a variety of side, zip, cargo, and stretch pockets, you'll have quick access to all your pocket-size essentials.
> A FREE tracked shipping label: to return your films to the Analogue WonderLab for developing, after you've shot them! Please note that will still need to pay for the development and scanning options that you need, but at least you won't have to worry about the cost or faff of postage 🥳
What Else Do I Need?
When you've finished the films then you will need the images developed and scanned so you can see them on your computer or phone - maybe to share with friends and family over social media, email or your website! That is also very straightforward - head over to our WonderLab and select 35mm Film Developing
You will have received a tracked shipping label within your Starter Kit to send in your finished films FREE and TRACKED, and within a matter of days you will see your photos!
The developed negatives will then be returned to you so you can store them safely at home.
