... likes film again.
Mike (and all other contributors here), some very fine photos. After having sold my Hasselblad C/M 500 some time ago, I might be interested in the Bronica 6x6 system some time soon ... Everything a little cheaper and I like what I have seen from the results of the Nikkor lenses.

maddoc,
You cannot go wrong. I like the SQ-A over the S2 simply because of weight. The S2 is heavy. The one thing that shock me was the older Bronica 6X6 cameras have a top speed of 1/1000. The later SQ cameras have a top speed of 1/500.
If you can find an SQ-B try it. It is a scaled down version of the SQ-A and SQ-Ai. The SQ cameras use the Bronica lenses and older S series cameras use the Nikkor lens along with Kormura lenses. Both Nikkor and Komura are very good.
Anyway, goota go.

You do know, of course.....

The SB is simply a SQa that is fully mechanical. No electronics. No metering, etc. I can use the components from the SQ but none of the electronics will function. I had an SB because it was inexpensive, but soon became tired of pure mechanical operation. All the accessories you will find for it are usually for the SQ, so you are simply foregoing the automation. The body is identical as I recall, and there are no lens differences.
I had used most of the models of the ETR line up to including the ETRSi and found Bronicas to be marvelous cameras. The ETR(s) are the smallest SLR 645 cameras of most manufacturers.
All Bronicas are Leaf Shutter in the lens, so flash sync is widely covered.
I also occurs to me that if you tire of 6X6 sqare, but become enamored of Bronica Glass which is marvelous, you may find yourself longing for the Bronica GS1 for 6X7 in a lighter, leaf shutter choice over the Mamiya RZ or RB.

Did you mean the SQai? My SQa has no electronics other than the electronically controlled shutter in the lens, similar to the SQb.

Yea...But... doesn't your SQA have?????
Yea...But... doesn't your SQA have?????
Electrical contacts in the top near the focus screen for a metered prism??? I thought the A could use a meter prism
The "B" has no electrical contacts for metering or other peripherals.
I could be wrong... I thought I was once, but it turned out I was right, so I was wrong about thinking I was wrong. Rules of the game... two wrongs do not equal one wrong??? Is that right

Zeiss Jena also did at least one lens for it too. No idea how rare it is however

kuzano,
You are correct there are electrical contacts on top, so a metered finder can be attached.

You are correct and I was wrong. I pulled the prism off my SQA and saw the contacts you are talking about. All these years and I never noticed them. I have two prisms, neither a meter prism.

Bob,
The meter prism are expensive in Japan. I see them from time to time. They usually run about 20,000 yen or 260 USD$. That is more than I paid for the my SQ-A and 80mm f2.8!

Photos from every witch's favourite shop. Bronica S2 with Nikkor 50/3.5; Delta 3200 Pro (yeah, it's dark in this shop). Most shots at about f/5.6 and 1/60 to 1/125. No lens hood, so flare from the windows in some cases.
More here. Go easy on it; I'm still learning. Meanwhile: The camera p0rn is here.

One more thing...

A nice thing about the old focal plane Bronicas (S, S2, S2a, and through the EC series) is that the excellent Nikkor optics cannot, to my knowledge, be bodged onto modern digitals with any kind of adapter. Their lack of built-in helicals means you'd need some sort of whopping great adapter with a helical in it (unless you mount bellows, maybe?) that would be impractical, expensive, and heavy. Therefore in the lens market you're not up against hordes of DSLR and micro four thirds users (and concomitant inflated prices) the way you are with M42 lenses, old Leica glass, etc.
