Bronica ETRS medium format camera kit — this has been well used but is still in great shape; includes Bronica’s AE finder (meter and AE function are still fully functional!) and detachable Speed Grip, an extremely handy accessory for shooting with the eye-level finder. Lens is the silver-nose 40mm f/4 wide-angle lens (roughly equivalent to 24mm on a 35mm camera)
The body has a crack in the viewfinder mount — finder still mounts and stays put as it should, but the crack is ugly and shows signs of attempted repairs that didn’t hold. It’s never presented any problems for me, but I got a non-functional body for parts with the intention of replacing the mount. Never found the time to do that, so the body is included in this bundle, should you feel like taking it on yourself.
Lens optics are tack-sharp; it’s some really beautiful glass. This is a great and under-appreciated system and especially perfect for someone diving into medium format photography. All of the below is included, and I’ll toss in a roll of Kodak Gold 200 and a battery so you can get shooting right away. Price for the full kit is $675 (pricing based on very conservative comparison with similar items at KEH, and comfortably reduced)
- Bronica ETRS Body
- Body for parts (missing a few contact points on the lens mount — since it has an electronically timed leaf shutter, it won’t shoot thru the full range of speeds, but WILL shoot at the default mechanical speed of 1/500s — so it’s technically partially functional)
- Bronica AE Eye-level viewfinder
- Zenzanon MC 40mm f/4 lens
- Back w/ 120 insert
- 220 insert

Bronica ETRS medium format camera kit — this is in excellent shape and includes the hard-to-find waist level finder. Body is in as good condition as I can imagine for a piece of gear its age. Lens optics are tack-sharp; I was able to detect a single piece of dust inside the 150mm lens, but it has no effect on the lens performance. This is a great and under-appreciated system and especially perfect for someone diving into medium format photography. All of the below is included, and I’ll toss in a roll of Kodak Gold 200 and a battery so you can get shooting right away. Price for the full kit is $850 (pricing based on very conservative comparison with similar items at KEH, and comfortably reduced).
