This is a great, solid medium format camera, and they are fantastic bargains. You can get this set-up for about $300. The diagonal split-image rangefinder is smart, I wish more cameras used them to minimize needing to turn the camera to focus. They are more necessary on the waistlevel cameras though.
Lens: Zenzanon Bronica 75mm f/2.8 MC
Filter: 58mm
Close focus: 2 feet/0.6 meters
Aperture range: f/2.8 - f/22

I quite like this lens. The close focus is great. I've read the later PE and EII versions of this lens are better, but I like this version just fine. All of the Bronica 75mm lenses are under $80, so they are steals.

Very neat - so... the electronic leaf shutter in lens...
ReplyDeletethe battery's in the body, I presume? What kind of battery (i.e., modern/readily available or old-school)?
The prices are astonishing - 'specially for the glass. I presume this is due to the 6 x 4.5 cm format(?)
