first of all hi to all, I have ever done medium format shooting before so I'm really new to this.
Any kind of advice will do.
just gone and sold my dslr, because l would really like to get into film shooting, so I've got myself a Bronica ECTL with a P 75mm f2.8 lens I'm waiting for this too arrive, so hopefully should be some time next week.
Will post in the WTB section later, because I'm looking for some extra bits for it
basically I'm after a 50mm lens and a spare film back, so if anybody has anything they'd like to sell, please pm me, I'm also looking for a camera case, doesn't have to be original, a third party case will do as long as it fits
So once again hi to all, And any advice on were to get my film rolls from? I want to shoot B&W as well as color.
regards
josh

Nice to meet another ECTL owner, Happy Snapper. It's a very interesting camera to shoot, but I suggest you start lifting weights to get in shape for carrying it around -- it does seem to weigh more than an S2. I have found the automatically selected exposure to be quite good. The one thing I've never been able to get any details on is the various kinds of focusing screens that were made for the ECTL. I have a screen designed for direct view use, with the shutter speeds running along the top, and I believe I picked up a screen for when a prism finder is used, in which case the shutter speeds numbers are printed on the screen "backwards." But I've never been able to confirm the existence of a screen with a split image for focusing. Good luck with your -- I'm holding onto mine!

Hi trask, nice to meet you, I'm not worried about the weight of the camera, I used to own a Nikon DX2 and fully kitted out, that thing weights a ton
Having problems sourcing the extra parts I need, flebay throw's up nothing as with the net, but will keep looking, really desperate for the spare film back
do you know the filter size for the 75mm lens m8?
regards
josh
