Bronica ETRSi

This is the latest incarnation of my small "love affair" with zenza BRONICA cameras. It's been put together at fairly small cost by buying bits that other (nice) people were selling on a well-known auction site. For the tech-heads out there, it's an ETRSi film camera that takes medium format negatives at 6X4.5cm using 120 format film. It currently has 3 lenses; a standard 75mm, a wide 50mm and this, the 150mm portrait lens. It operates through an AE-II finder (on the top) and film is advanced using the winder E - to the left as we look at it. The flash has full TTL (automatic essentially) capabilities and is a Metz 45CT-4 working through an SCA386 Bronica adapter. If you take the flash batteries out and get the family inside, it will either sail you all down the River Forth or the Mississippi depending on your preference! I keep telling people that even 18Mp digital cameras still can't match the quality from the negs that this produces but I still have to prove it beyond doubt having just obtained the latest part today - portrait anyone?!!
