I started this article with the statement, “The Bronica has been described as the poor man’s Hasselblad”. It communicated with me the moment I saw it. I visited a local source in the center of Bangkok before hitting on the Bronica ETRS and finally found one complete with 75mm f/2.8 lens from eBay. A couple of recent articles caught my eye: Is shooting film a waste of money, Neil Piper’s Bronica ETRS Review here on EMULSIVE, and an encyclopedia entry in the FStopppers A-Z of Photography on Bronica and Burtinsky. There have been other articles on similar Bronica cameras, including one on the ETRSi by Maxime Evangelista. With the two Hasselblad cameras, I was up for something similar, eventually deciding on a Zenza Bronica. I recently decided to look for another medium format camera and initially thought about a Pentacon 6TL. Despite a useful article by Ludwig Hagelstein and some other online sources, I decided against this (at least for the time being). When I began my journey back to film photography, I looked at Rolleiflex cameras first, but finally settled on the Hasselblad 500C/M - of which I have two now. That is just wrong, as I hope to demonstrate through this article. The Bronica has been described as the poor man’s Hasselblad.
