Bronica ETR-Si sample test images

Here are some (self-scanned) images from the Bronnie. I am actually fairly happy with both the picture quality and the scans. Very little processing, other than a little tweaking of exposure, contrast and sharpness.

Introducing the Bronica ETR-Si

Although I have been shooting with my (mostly) trusty Yashica 35 twin lens reflex medium format camera for a while now, I was looking to move to a system with more flexibility and interchangeable lenses.

With my heart set on the Mamiya RB67 I spent my usual ridiculous amount of time researching the system and alternatives. I pretty quickly realised that the RB67 is heavy, and I was looking to for something, initially at least, that I could take on hikes and walks in addition to more car-friendly photo sessions.

And I landed on the Bronica ETR-Si. These are lovely medium format cameras with bags of accessories, and in the world of medium format cameras are relatively cheap.

So, this weekend will be all about shooting with this thing, and seeing how the images turn out.
