Up for sale is my wonderful Bronica S2a. I've had her for a few years, purchased with a non-working curtain (unbeknownst to me!). After hunting endlessly, I found Frank Marshman who was able to expertly CLA the kit (lens, body and one back) to the tune of $275 in September of this year.

The camera is a blast to shoot. I love the sound it makes, the feel of the crank, the brightness of the WLF. She's a beautiful camera and sold me on medium format.

I'm selling her via e*ay starting Sunday unless any APUG'ers want to make a deal here.

What's included:

• Bronica S2a camera body - CLA'd in September 2016 at a cost of $275.
• Nikkor 75mm f/2.8 lens
• Waist level viewfinder with magnifying pop-up
• Two "S2a" signed 120 film backs with spools. One works great, the other is untested but I assume it works fine. Both have darkslides.
• One not-signed 120 film back. Maybe an S2 back. Haven't tested. No darkslide.
• Bronica signed darkslide that isn't for the S2a. It came with the 120 back purchase and is prob for another Bronica (ERTS?)
• 67mm HOYA filter (installed in pictures)
• Pentax strap in usable condition. Has proper S2a clips attaching it to camera.

Open to offers. Looking to get $350 net to me (I have $550 into the camera with the purchase and CLA, although we all know it's impossible to get out what you put in!)

Everyone needs a Bronica S2a. A classic! The Nikkor 75mm is a wonderful lens, especially close up and wide open.

You are a certified romantic. You may be correct about s2a......but like many of us...long in tooth and parts rare. Knowledgeable and accessible techs retiring or passing away and/or charging high fees.

One hopes that 3D printing will be positive.


For mf like images in a compact form factor...dp Merrill anyone?
