#BRONICA SQ AI PRO#

Zenzanon S 80mm 2.8 on Fuji Pro 400hДЄnother one from the same hike, the clouds hanging in the Valley looked really surreal. The Bronica really bothered me on this hike, it was a lot steeper, sometimes rocky and all in all i regretted bringing this ~1,5kg camera. This one was taken on another hike, this time near the summit of the HahnenkГ¶pfle in Austria. I didnвЂ™t mind the Bronica on this hike too much, it was heavy but the hike was not too steep. This one was taken on a hike along the Austrian-German Border where cows where grazing along the trail and made this postcard-like shot possible. Great ergonomics: Everything has its place, it is very intuitive and you get used to it very quicklyД«uild: Apart from the flimsy winder, everything is solidly build and feels like it will at least outlast the electronics.ДЇocussing screen: The bright focussing screen with Microprism collar around the split-image rangefinder is amazing! After 3 failed attempts (Pentacon Six with a bad shutter, Bronica SQ with a dead shutter, Bronica SQ-B with dead Electronics) I finally found a Bronica SQ-A in like-new condition for a decent price and bought it.ДЇast forward a few weeks, because of this camera, I now like medium format so much I barely use 35mm anymore.ДЄ few things I really like about the Bronica:

At the time he was shooting mainly a Bronica SQ-Ai, and his shots blew me away, I knew I had to get a 6Г—6 SLR. for another MF rangefinder (I was specifically interested in the Fuji GS645), but then I found landscape photographer Adrian VilaвЂ™s Youtube-Channel (aows).

A little bit disappointed with my experience I decided I needed to go all in, spending weeks scanning ebay, local classifieds, forums etc. I initially wanted to dip my feet into the waters with a cheap seagull 203 folding rangefinder, I had great fun with it, but ultimately had to send it back because the focus was way off due to some play in the mechanism. When I first got interested in medium format cameras, I spent countless hours, many weeks in fact, thinking about what kind of medium format camera I wanted to get.
