The SQ-B was a manually operating SLR evolved from the SQ-Ai, built to primarily satisfy the needs of professional 'studio' photographers who work with hand-held light meters, studio or portable flash equipment and various other accessories. Their single-lens reflex (SLR) system-cameras competed with Pentax, Hasselblad, Mamiya and others in the medium-format camera market.

Although the idea sounds attractive I would rather not do it from the beer can - too thin (except some Sapporo beers) and the paint can peel off very easily.Here at our shop in Tampere, Finland we have authentic film-era machinery and tools which we use to test all testable items before listing them online or repairing / refurbishing when needed. You may buy the dark slide separately on ebay. I am afraid the safest option is to check the accessories one by one.Īlso my set came without the darkslide, but if I were to finish the entire roll and then spool and take out then that shouldn post as much of problem isnt it?Īs sloth said there should be no problem. Backs not necessary but may (they are designed to much the metered prisms). Bronica SQ Series, the SQ-B is a manually operating 2114X2114 in.
WLF and non-metered prisms should fit all the SQ line. The AEIII finder may have a different No of contacts. Yup I finally bought my Bronica set! The thing is I got the SQ-A set and now Im not sure whether accessories labeled sq-ai are compatable (looking for the ae prism in particular).
#Bronica sq b update#
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.
#Bronica sq b series#
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.
