RICOH Imaging has announced that due to higher-than-expected orders for the 'PENTAX 17', released on July 12, 2024, they have temporarily suspended accepting new orders. It has been reported that they were unable to deliver all pre-orders on the release date.

Production is still ongoing, and products are expected to be shipped from the factory in sequence, but it is anticipated that it will take time to deliver all pre-orders. Regarding additional reservations, the company plans to sell a certain number irregularly on its e-commerce site.

Some users have pointed out the limitations of the camera's manual settings, but overall, it has been praised for the enjoyment and rewards of exploring film photography in a modern context.
