Just a quick update and a few more questions to follow. Fun toy to play with if you can get one really cheap. Polaroid backs are dirt cheap and can be loaded with Fuji FP100C (available at Cathay Photo and not affected by Polaroid's demise). Change hands to fiddle with the shutter speed dial. Right hand works the crank and aperture on the lens.

You hold the body in your left hand with your left index finger on the shutter release. It should have the winding crank on the side. No need for speed grip, you can work with the Ai body alone. As with most things you buy from ebay, you should assume that you are on your own if anything goes bad. My SQ-B is a toy, not a production rig, so I get to choose what I play withĬomplete kits are going around $600 SGD, used, no warranty. Of course the true fans of the Hasselblad will call blasphemy on this, but to each their own. I find the Bronica to be a great alternative to a Hasselblad, the ergonomics are actually a bit better even. You can pick up some lenses for less than S$200 these days. I have been picking up most of my stuff on ebay - the Bronica gear there is either outrageously overpriced, or super underpriced. I only have a PS 65mm so can't comment on the S, but if I had an opportunity to get a S at a good price, I would consider it. The PS are supposed to be multicoated and better quality.

Zenzanon-PS or the older Zenzanon-S series only. That's the permanently-meter-less version that cannot take a meter prism at all - it has no electronic contacts to support that.īacks don't seem to be interchangeable.
