For Sale [SOLD]: Bronica EC-TL Kit w/MC 50/80/150, Reduced

[taomeister]

Putting feelers out for selling a wonderful kit I've amassed from a local camera store and Japanese ebay finds. It shoots beautifully but I cannot justify having more than 1 medium format system to juggle rolls between. This camera is a true sleeper with the 80mm F2.4 Zenzanon MC and have some nice dreamy bokeh and quality that's often overlooked for its weight and not-a-Hasselblad status.

Bronica EC-TL Silver w/ 120/220 film back- $[SOLD], no body cap (use a lens), leatherette is peeling in a couple places, so I taped things down with gaffe tape for now, feel free to remove. Shoots at all speeds confidently, focusing screen and meter is accurate even for slide film, and shutter / mirror sounds strong. Can provide image samples upon request. No light leaks showing up on any of my images.

Bronica Zenzanon MC 80mm F2.4 -$[SOLD], front threaded cap (lives on body most of the time), aftermarket collapsible rubber hood - in EXC+ condition, no haze or fungus, with some tiny dust and (impossible to photograph) faintest hairline scratch or mark when held up to strong light. Includes Tiffen UV protector 67mm.

Bronica Zenzanon MC 150mm F3.5 - $[SOLD], rubber threaded OEM non-collapsible hood, rear and front threaded cap - in EXC+ condition, no haze or fungus, only tiny dust held up to strong light. Includes 67mm L-1B Bronica filter.

Bronica Zenzanon MC 50mm F2.8 - $[SOLD], rear and front threaded cap - in EXC+ condition, no haze or fungus, only tiny dust held up to strong light. Includes Tiffen UV protector 67mm.

Extra EC-TL 120/220 film back - [SOLD]: In better shape than the one that came with the camera, both have the nice film memo holder. Both film backs have dark slides.

Pictures of the whole kit will be provided this weekend. I will throw in a black Domke bag that holds just about everything and a threaded shutter release cable if the entire kit sells as one. Will take $875 for the whole kit and cover shipping. PayPal fees will be covered by the buyer (add +3%) if paying that way. I ship from Seattle, WA.

Update 7/26/2022: Some photos are attached below but the gallery with my best attempt to photograph the entirety of the kit is shown in the following Dropbox gallery:

What is the difference between the MC 80mm f/2.4 and the MC 75mm f/2.8 other than max apature?

 

[cramej]

The 80 f2.4 is a Bronica lens and the 75mm f2.8 is a Nikkor. There were several versions of the Nikkor. Any of the Nikkors or the Bronica lens are excellent.

 

[taomeister]

AFAIK the Nikkors were usually earlier production and included with most of the S2 / S2a and EC bodies as kit options, then the Zeiss Jena 80/2.8 MC was an intermediate while they worked out production issues, then 80/2.4 MC was a later multicoated standard (perhaps after the MC 75/2.8 design was phased out).

Looking forward to the pictures of the gear and any sample of actual images.

Sounds like a great kit at a reasonable price.

Admittedly I can't recall the last time I took the 50/2.8 out - it's clean but I don't seem to shoot that wide very often with this kit.

Bump and price drop / update!

Hi— I'm very interested in the 50mm, 80mm, and maybe the EC-TL— I'd take the whole kit but I already have the 150mm w/hood on it's way from Japan.

Let me know!
