Does anyone know where I might source a dark slide for a 120 back on a Bronica ETRSi? Just got the eBay ship,net and the body is missing it. Went back and looked - sure enough it wasn't in the photo on eBay. Missed that little detail!
KEH was selling 220 backs so cheap it was worth it just to get the dark slide. I went to SQAi I don't think I have any ETRSi stuff left, I will check. Great camera! Kohs is still active on Ebay.
My multi-exposure lever broke on my SQ-Ai and Koh's had it in stock, so remember them. Jimmy is a valuable resource. Another camera repair shop said that parts could not be obtained.
There are different film backs with different dark slides out there (I have two E120i but two different dark slides).
The E120i usually has a dark slide with a grey handle - the older back (E120 ? ) has a dark slide with a black handle.
The big difference I noticed : Mixing the dark slides can be a problem -
using the old one (black handle) in a E120i, I can still release the shutter and the film back can be removed with the slide out.
the difference is a small tab on the darkslide handel that pushes on a tab in a slot so you cant fire the camera and also releases tge interlock to remove the back from the body.
the tab can be manually pushed in to remove the body.
