Thoughs on a Bronica ETRS

[wiltw]

Yes the digital option is soooo expensive. Kapture Group want $895 for a Hassy adapter plate (which is apparently the one we need) before we even get to the back! Still, I love the ETRS system. I have 1ea. ETRS and ETRSi bodies with practically every lens they made, incl. the 45-90mm and I would never part with any of them! I can't quite understand why the Mamiya 645 endured while the Bronica perished, given that the latter comes with leaf shutters. But, I guess the lack of Auto Focus killed it. How spoiled we are.

Tamron bought Bronica, then killed it. That's why.

Bronica as far as I'm concerned is an unsung hero in the MF world. I have and use routinely a 1976 Bronica ETR (chrome) and a 1961 Bronica-S (6x6). Both are wonderful cameras I've become very attached to. Bang for the buck? Nothing beats Bronica.
