    Bronica Medium Format Owners Thread

    Guys, you are all correct. I have contacted the seller and he has agreed to take it back as he misidentified it - it is from a different model, probably an S2.

    Favourite vintage lenses

    For me, on my X-mount bodies:- Pentax Super Takumar 50mm f1.4 - bought from Japan. Beautiful lens, colours, Bokeh, everything - and radioactive too! Mamiya/Sekkor SX 50mm f2 - from an old Mamiya MSX500 that I still use for film. Tefnon 28mm f2.8 - got it cheap on a Minolta mount Olympus...
