Removable focusing unit with distance scales for 50, 75, 135 and 200mm lenses.Double exposure control on the dial on the right side near frame counter setting switch.Shutter speeds to 1/500 or 1/1000 second (see note below).Intended as an economy version of the “S” it incorporated several features of the “D” and the new focusing mount soon to appear on the S2. The Bronica C was introduced in 1964-5 while the “S” was still being produced, and is the only model made by Bronica without interchangeable backs. The current tubes and bellows do not fit the S mount.Īll prisms, hoods, and grips, as well as the sports finder for the present S2A, will fit the S. This model also requires a special extension tube set and bellows.
The present focusing tube will not fit the S camera. A special focusing adapter for tele-Nikkor lenses was made for the S fixed mount, but was not sold in the U.S. The 105mm F3.5 Nikkor and 300mm F4.5 Zenzanon will not fit. Top speed was lowered to 1/1000 second and the self-timer / long exposure control, double exposure control, and focus lock were eliminated.Īll small bayonet mount Bronica Nikkor lenses fit the S body. The S model was introduced while the Deluxe was still in production and represented a simplified version of that camera.
#Bronica sq a upgrade#
The Bronica S was a major upgrade of the model D or Deluxe camera introduced by Zenza Bronica in 1961. The S2A grips, however, will not fit due to the bayonet fitting on the camera base, and a special tripod adapter #81502 was required to use either of these grips.
#Bronica sq a series#
The Deluxe has double exposure capability, shutter speeds to 1/1250th second, a 2-10 second self-timer which also allowed timed long exposures of 2-10 seconds, and a locking lever to lock the camera’s focusing mount at any desired point.Īll small bayonet mount Auto-Nikkor and Zenzanon lenses fit the Deluxe, as well as all five “S” series prisms and hoods.
There are two "classes" of lenses, the S and the PS. The most commonly available lenses are the 80 mm (standard lens) and the 150 mm (equal to about 95 mm in 35 mm format).
My interest is not landscapes, so I have no real interest in wide angle lenses. I may one day get one of the unmetered prisms. The waist level finder is fine for me, as most of the time the SQ will be on a tripod. I chose the SQ because I can always get a 6x4.5 film holder for the SQ but I can't get a 6圆 back for the ETRS. Here is a little of my thoughts on purchasing. I am awaiting arrival of 80 mm PS lens that I won last night for $135 in purported excellent condition. Buying on Ebay I so far have a 120 back (SQ-A), body (SQ-A), and WL finder, all in good condition for <$300. I recently (a couple of weeks ago) made the same decision, choosing to go with the SQ.
