Why buy the Pentax 17 over a cheaper half-frame camera like the H35

I don’t shoot a ton of film, but I really liked the simple, low-pressure experience of using a cheap half-frame camera. The problem was that I wanted a sharper lens, better build quality, a little more control, and still wanted the benefit of getting around 72 shots from a roll.
That’s what led me to the Pentax 17.

I put together a first-impressions video covering why I chose it, what zone focusing has been like, the viewfinder, handling, mode dial, and whether it actually gives me that same carefree shooting experience without as many compromises.
