The Bronica Model E 6x4.5 back arrived today, lol, I almost sent it back because I thought it was broken. On The 6x6 back there’s a small button that you press to switch from 12 to 24 (120 to 220) exposure and on the 6x4.5 back the button slides. I thought the button was frozen or maybe broken and not returning. It’s also a little confusing because instead of switching between 120 and 220 which would be 16 vs. 32 exposures you have S and F. You shoot in S regards of whether you have loaded 120 or 220 and at the end of the roll switch to F to complete siding the roll onto the take up spool. Not much info on the Internet about these backs and ironically once I figured it out I reread the instructions and it actually says to slide the button up. Guess I should learn how to read an instruction manual.

@Roger Thoms butkus.org has the manual for the Bronica Model E 6x4.5 film back here. Enjoy the S2.
Hey, fellow BC'er...Lots of Sodium Sulfite, Metol, Sodium Acetate and Ferric Oxalate... My shelving has run out of room!
Hey, fellow BC'er...
Do you order from Argentiix, special order Photographers Formulary stuff through Beau Photo, or from somewhere else?
Checked Argentix today and they appear to be out of both gold chloride and silver nitrate.

Thanks, I’ll do thatI order from Argentix. Email Jacques about the gold chloride. I've asked him about stuff that he was out of, and he got it in for me. Eventually, I'll be needing some silver nitrate...
Could you convince the powers that be to allow you to mix up your own film developer for your classes? Something like D-76?
I wouldn't have to do any convincing as the powers that be are clueless as to what I doBut because the wee bit of a budget that I get each year, also has to go to the ceramics course that I teach... the price of clay and glazes is worse than film and processing chems... I have to find a balance. They have no issue buying NEW football helmets every year, though! When I played high school football (77, 78), my helmet was new in 1967!
