Want to Buy ISO Bronica 135W film back for the ETRSi

[tallenpatterson]

I'm starting a project that will benefit the homeless and others in the local community. The finished piece is desired to be in a panoramic format, so I'd love to pick up a panoramic back for my Bronica ETRSi. However, the Ebay asking prices seem nuts, so hoping to find one here for less.

I have such a back for my Bronica SQ-B, but I find it troublesome while winding the film, but then mine is maybe too much used and thus worn out when I got it?
You could also start with your normal back and crop the negative. All you need is a mask for the focussing screen.

If you are really insistant there are also some adapters you could try, see....:

As a ETRSi owner I'd mask the ground glass with some black card stock. Cheap and effective.

I also would simply shoot on 120 and crop during scan or in the enlarger to 135 Panorama horizontal dimension.

I really want this back too. Way too pricey though. My ETRSi already has the right gg installed. Just looking for a good deal.

This way you have a build-in shift function too!

I gave up trying to find an affordable back and now roll 35mm onto used 120 backing paper. It involves some guesswork when flipping the camera side-ways but it has the sprockets benefit.

Good luck

Leaning toward just marking the ground glass since I have an extra and doing the crop after. Thanks for the input everyone
