: Zenza Bronica S2A
: sgt.brimer November 14, 2014, 11:03:46 PM
Here is a selection of shots from the Zenza Bronica S2A. I shot it mostly at f/8 with a shutter speed of 1/125. The film I used was Fujicolor Pro 400H.

I shot these in Savannah, Ga in and around the Colonial Park Cemetery.

They look really nice but they're really small.  Any chance of posting up to, say, 850 pixels on longest edge??  The 200kb limit still applies, of course, but it'd be fabulous to see some of the detail in the shots.

Nice. I like the Bus Stop shot. How did you like shooting with the Bronica? I just bought one yesterday, an SQA, and I'm looking forward to getting to know it. Savannah, one of those cities that I've wanted to get to, I just haven't yet.

Well I had a bit of a learning experience with the camera. It didn't come with a strap, so I had to practice holding the camera just right. But once I got comfortable with it, the loud sound of shutter going off made me smile.

I like the bus stop as well.

I have a Bronica ETRS and it was at least a couple of months before I realised you had to remove the dark slide, didn't even know it had one. It worked fine with no film in it, but as soon as I loaded one I couldn't get it to fire. I am a little bit embarrassed by this story! I'll stop now.

I was going to use the bus stop sign for the #35 collaboration. They are all over the historic district of Savannah. I had a few instances of not removing the dark slide, but when the camera didn't fire that's when I had my "doh" moment.
