I was actually given a complete Bronica set a while back from my old landlord (two S2's, 5 lenses (including 2 75mm Nikkors, the lovely 50mm Nikkor and a 150mm and 200mm), multiple backs, chimney finder, flashes (which I ended up giving away), a couple different helicoids and a sweet Bellows Attachment for macro photography.

I don't shoot it all the time, but it's a beast and I do like it quite a bit.

Khunyapan, The shot of the eye with the bellows attachment is very cool. Nice work!

Thanks! That bellows is pretty fun to use, and always gets people stopping me in the streets to talk about it.

DuPont State Forest in North Carolina, USA. Bronica S2 + Nikkor 50/3.5; Portra 160; 1/125 at f/22, polarizer. Lab dev & scan. Levels adjusted in post, possibly inadequately. This was a difficult one: the water was blinding white, while the forests on the sides were dense and dark. Glare was surprisingly minimal given this infamous lens.

Nice work Dave.
You probably could of used f/16 or f/11 and stayed at 1/125s.
I probably would have shot f/11@1/125, or f/22@1/30

Thanks Colton. With these waterfall shots, I did color and B&W, stop-motion and blur, and in this case a couple of different compositions of sky vs. water. But I did not truly bracket, as such. I guess in cases like this, I probably should. Although bracketing on 12-exposure MF rolls quickly gets expensive and ties up time loading film...

Santa Monica about a week ago. Bronica S2 + Nikkor 50/3.5, Ektar 100, lab dev and scan. About 4 sec (bulb exposure timed by brain, not using a stopwatch), at f/3.5. I had no tripod with me, so I put my camera backpack on the ground and sat the camera atop it (so as not to get sand in the camera).

Panoramic from Mount Saint Mary's University up in the Brentwood Hills over L.A. This is two from the Bronica S2, Nikkor 50/3.5, Portra 160, 1/125 @ f/16. Lab dev and scan. Stitched in Photoshop Elements, then cropped a bit. Yes, I know you can't stitch wide shots and should instead strap on the normal lens before panoramificating; hence the bizarre perspective(s).

At Chichén Itzá, Yucatán, Mexico. Bronica S2 + Nikkor 75/2.8, Ilford Pan F 50, 1/500 @ f/5.6, polarizing and yellow filters.

This is totally my go-to medium format kit right now. Can't stop using it. One mistake never to make, and probably obvious if you're not a n00b to the tropics: I had it in my Cancún hotel room, which was air-conditioned to about 18 C, overnight. Then went outside onto the beach to shoot sunrise pictures, not super-hot at about 25 C but at seemingly 9000% relative humidity. It took at least 15 minutes for all the cold, heavy metal and glass (including the massive 50/3.5 lens in that instance) to reach temperature and stop fogging. Lesson learned: plan for time to warm, or keep it equalized outdoors if you have a secure, high-storey balcony.
