1 Why not the Mamiya RB/RZ 67 or the Pentax 67?.Usually, these photographers are talking about the Bronica SQ 6×6 or the ETR 6×4.5 systems I’m here to talk about the one Bronica camera that rarely is talked about – the GS-1. …or even thoughts from photographers who started their careers with Bronica equipment, just to “trade up” to a Mamiya or Hasselblad as soon as they were able to. Film-loving photographers, eager to take advantage of these bargains but confused by the various format options and cameras naturally took to photo internet forums as a place for them to ask questions.Įxperienced photographers always chime in, giving advice on cameras they’ve had personal experience with but one name is almost always left out of these conversations… Until that is, when one or two lone voices chirp up and in hushed words say “…Bronica”.įor some reason, these conversations then turn into complaints about accessories and availability of parts system reliability issues, or how some wedding pros may have trashed their cameras during the 80’s. Medium format film camera prices have dropped dramatically, and photographers have been able to buy gear at fractions of what it cost new.
