Every so often one comes across a great deal that simply cannot be ignored. It was just the case with my newest camera, this Bronica ETR-Si. Even though I should have probably ignored the call, I stumbled upon this setup and simply could not walk away.
The Bronica ETR-Si is a medium-format film camera. The basic ETR family has been around for many years and there are several on the used-camera market. I've never used a Bronica before, but have used other similar cameras.
The body, lens, and film back on this particular example are in excellent condition. There are a few scratches on the AE-III prism finder, but certainly nothing that will affect performance. Naturally, now that I have this I'll have to acquire other bits of gear to complement the set. That's just how it works for men and their toys, right?
With spring seemingly arrived, I'm excited to load this with film and head out to test the performance. Based on what I've found online and in flickr groups, this camera should be a lot of fun. Here's hoping I'm up to the challenge!
