Bronica EC (S2) use with bellows hood

[Deleted member 88956]

Has anyone used/tried bellows hood (from Bronica SQ) on the S2/EC models? 67 mm mounting ring seems to suggest it should work, but may need separate testing for vignetting avoidance.

I've used the SQ bellows lens hood on an S2A with 75mm and longer lenses.
Unfortunately the original model 50mm Nikkor takes 82mm filters which is way too big for mounting the newer hood.
Also have a couple Lindahl's and a square box with slots for drop-in translucent vignetters but all are too small for the big Nikkor but work well with the 67mm mount lenses.

Great, thanks.

I realize it might be close to unobtainium these days, but Bronica made a bellows compendium shade for the S2a/EC/EC-TL. I used to own one. Very well made and it worked great. I'd recommend it highly, should you ever come across one.

Out of curiosity, I took a look on eBay and I came across an Ambico The Shade with bellows hood, in 67mm mount, for a reasonable price. Looks like a good unit. Ebay item number 273816187652.

Thanks for the tip. Strange that I have not seen Bronica compendium shade for S2/EC vintage line. For nw I have SQ shade coming as I may end with and SQ at some point anyways and while likely nothing wrong with that Ambico, it just feels like wrong icing on the cake.

One thing I dislike about the SQ hood is that Cokin square filters are too big for the slot.
