Mamiya RB67 has rotating back, WLF is a non issue.

Bronica is not that smaller than Mamiya 645. With AE III finder, or even more with non-metered prism finder, is not that much bigger either.

ETRS is a lot smaller than Mamiya 645 ProTLII.
I dont shoot portrait mode.
I approach photography 1 frame of 24 A second

Thanks for clarifying how you use it.

I don't have Mamiya Pro TL, but in its heyday I did use it a bit and I don't recall it was all that different from Bronica ETRS with basic set up, no add-ons Advance crank does stick out a lot more, maybe that makes it feel so big.

Thanks , I hadn't seen any refrerence to this .
I have a similar one for my Kiev 88 that I've used with longer lenses , I've never actually used it with shorter lenses .
I might be tempted .

This is the Speed Grip for the ETRS, mounted

I already have that type of grip covered , it's specifically the pistol grip I was asking about as I hadn't come across a Bronica one before , or seen reference to one .

As can be seen , the speedgrip is the most compact compared to the others , followed by the one that takes a 2CR5 in the grip .
The AA ones get much bigger .
They do however allow me to use wireless remote releases .
I can't believe how much they are selling for now , when I bought them they were a fraction of the current prices .

wow, that bottom one is a beast! I have the third from the bottom, and its pretty light and compact for a powered grip, and the battery seems to last relatively long.

This listing looks correct, it is original EC grip. I have it in original box. It also came with wrist strap that attaches to the bottom. The registration pins will not match ETR.

There is an L grip that was made for EC and another for ETR. Both look neary identical, biggest difference and easy to see are the pins. Also bottom plate is somewhat different.
