Good Day for everyone,
Need help - due my Bronica SQAi happens without WLF - I'm looking for occasions, and found that WLF of ETR series looks similar visually for me - but I'm not sure did it will fit SQAi ?
Any advice or suggestion?
Thank's in advance

As far as I am aware there are no parts and precious few accessories from the 645 camera will fit the Sq models. The WLF is formatted for the 645 negative rather than the 6x6. Overall the bodies are similar shape but a different size.

... my curiosity is based on visual observation (pic on net) that ETR WLF looks square frame (base) for me - and if it's so - should probably fit SQ Ai?
... or I'm wrong? Good to receive opinion of somebody who own ETR and can tell exactly - is it square or 6x4.5 frame?

It has the shape of the 645 negative so it will NOT fit!

And yes I have owned both the SQa and a 645 super and the standard 645. Believe me they are not compatible.

I have both SQAi and ETRSi nothing is interchangeable. Great cameras! I think the WLF is worth as much as the SQAi body. People would put on a prism and then misplace the WLF. Not as pretty as a Hasselblad but I am very fond of the Bronicas.
