Could someone please confirm for me that this will be suitable for my Bronica SQ B.

Fairly sure it will be but just want to be certain.

Many thanks.

yes but thats a ridiculous price for one. My local Cameraworld have a few in stock at a more sensible price...

Bronny Backs

Any of the SQ's should fit fine, ive got different sq types on mine. If youre still a bit worried give them a ring and ask to make sure, theyre a friendly bunch.

Crikey!

That's more like it.

Thanks very much Ash. Teach me to look around more.
 
youre welcome :)

Although if thats the price they go for on fleabay im tempted to buy up all CW's stock and slap them in there :D
 
That's one of the cheapest on e-bay.

Sorry to be thick, and a bit paranoid, are the first two in that link the one I want?
 
Yeah they're fine. I think the ETR is a little smaller.

One of my backs is an SQ-i and theirs show as 3 quid cheaper but the image has 135 on the side and mine has a dial on the back. Id be tempted to give them a ring just to double check first thing. I remember getting one by accident which turned out to be smaller.
 
Yes, I'll give them a call in the morning just to make sure.

Thanks very much for your help. I really appreciate it.
 
the Image they've used for the SQ-Ai is of the 35mm film back... not sure if its a 135n (std 24x36mm or 135w (the pano frame 24x54mm version) but as the descriptions all state 120roll, I'd say a phone call to confirm would be best idea :)
 
I'm pretty sure the SQ-B will take any of the SQ backs (6x6, 6x4.5 and 35mm). Some of the functionality of the "i" backs are not available on the SQ-B (electrical links to the metered prism, ISO setting etc), but they still fit and work. The ETR backs are only for the smaller rectangular format ETRS/ETRSi cameras (6x4.5 and 35mm) so you'll need to avoid any of those. There's also the larger GS-1 camera with 6x7 backs, but it doesn't look like they've got any of those!
 
The back has arrived and all seems good.

It's the SQI, so the cheaper one.

Excellent service from cameraworld.

Thanks again.
