My latest camera toy
Posted: Sat May 06, 2017 7:30 pm
I wanted a decent medium format camera that didn't cost an arm and a leg. Got this today. Has a "speed grip" handle attachment with a quick manual film advance, a flash shoe, and an additional shutter release. The add on viewfinder has a single auto mode choice based on aperture priority and manual mode with light meter reading...which takes the place of the waist level viewer. It is the late model of the Bronica ETRS with the lens release on the side instead of the front. 6x4.5 images. Weights in at an ounce over four pounds without a the battery or film. The big question is will it work when I get a battery for it. All the controls seem to function as they should ..but the shutter is electronic and nothing is happening without the 6 volt battery.
I'll be in suspense until Monday...
