And of course, being very impressed by a used 15 year old camera 5 stars for overall rating Yet there is a large amount of used gear on the used maket so I add one more star. But it sure doesn't look or act like it and I expect to get many more years of use out of it. This camera may be 15 - 20 years old and it probably wasn't stored very well. That's why I'm looking into buying another 120 back and a 40mm lens. And Despite its wierd reputation of being "the poor mans Hassleblad" (I guess that makes Nikon the poor mans Leica and Canon the poor mans Contax.) There is a lot of mint gear on the used market and can be had for a lot less than new stuff. Now, while the Bronica system is sort of in the middle of medium format price ranges when new. I now have a hard time using any of my 35mm gear for anything but snapshots. Then of course, there is the shock of the 120 film size results! It totaly blows away 35mm in every way.

I couldn't refuse and took it out for some testing. "But", he said, "You use it for my wedding and you can have it". He said he had it for a long time and that he barely used it. I had no idea he even owned the thing and it looked like it had spent a few years in a closet and maybe one or two in the trunk of a car. Buddy) pulls out this 15 (maybe 20) year old ETRS (not an ETRSi) with the 75mm and 150mm lenses, a 120 and a 135 film back, an AE II Pentaprism Viewfinder and the Speedgrip E. The next thing I know my buddy (and I guess soon to be Mr. However my friends' wedding is to be an extremely casual affair and since they are good friends and not friends of a friend looking to cut costs with an amature artist, I accepted. It is very hard to make people happy, especially when they have spent a few thousand dollars on their wedding and the photos taken are the only thing tangible to show for it. I have been asked to shoot weddings quite a few times and have always turned them down. I was actually given this camera by some friends who aked me to photograph their upcoming wedding.
