Show us your SLR ..... WHAT?

Just posted a pic from the first roll i did in the S2A to the Post Bronica photos.. thread.

I have used this lens, along with a couple other Bronica-format Nikkors on a Df, using a Fotodiox Bronica to Nikon adapter. Only issue is no way to stop down the aperture, all results are wide open.


The "75" is superb... and I put scare-quotes only because to be precise I'm speaking from experience on the 7.5 cm Nikkor-P, which is an older variant than you mentioned. (Presumably you've been here and looked at all the flavors of 75 lenses.) The 75 or 7.5 is cheap on eBay (two-digit US$ cost) so you can't go too far wrong experimenting with one.

All photos in my flickr stream taken with it (assuming I've organized things properly) are here.

The lens is so good, I've considered buying this bizarre and expensive hack-job adapter to use it on Sony mirrorless as about a 105mm-ish equivalent portrait lens.

Wow ... I did not know that a major adapter maker like Fotodiox had an adapter for the Bronica S (S2, Z, EC, etc.) lenses to anything. I gave up looking long ago, but now that you mention it and I Google, I see Fotodiox has them to Nikon and to Canon EF. The one I linked to above maintains aperture control (according to its eBay description), which is not that surprising since it looks a bit like it's made from cannibalized old parts (extension tubes or reversing rings, etc.).

So here "She:" is. (Or should I say He?) Very Old School & Manly! ;)

Just need to figure out the best battery option. Any Suggestions?




Great bit of kit. They don't get much appreciation here, lots of comments about being difficult to repair which is simply not true if you find the right person. In my experience they never break anyway. I'd say it is a bloke. I have it's long lost brother, the MOT.

As to battery I had a diode fitted to take 625A/LR9 1.5 which is easily available and cheap. It is good enough for me.
 
A fun pair that I really enjoy shooting.

Very nice! Love the T90, easily the most advanced non autofocus analog camera.
Tell us how you did the unstick thingie...

It's quite straight forward using a magnetised screw driver to touch a certain part, no need to take much apart, it's not my discovery someone else's. sometimes the shutter can also be released by holding the camera on b and giving it a good knock. Seems the worst thing for these cameras is not using them!
