I used to have a Bronica Etr about 20 years ago and really liked the
camera. At the time The Mamiya did not have a leaf shutter lens and the
Bronica did which meant that I could use fill Flash at any shutter speed.
I had a 50, 75 and a 150 lens. At the time I really like the Bokeh of the
150 lens. In fact looking back it was probably my favorite lens of all
times. Yes I have now said Hail Zuiko 10 times as required of a
zuikoholic. I would probably still have it but had to sell it to settle
some bills when I quit shooting weddings. I liked the results that I got
with it just not the film and processing costs but back then when I used it
to shoot portraits or a wedding someone else was paying for that. One
thing I think that I remember is that the focus was in the opposite
direction of the Olympus this bothered me enough that for a few years I
almost never used the Olympus as the Bronica was the camera I made my
living with or at least almost managed to support me. I never made that
much but for a few years had a lot of fun.
