I'm actually thinking of selling on my 35mm film gear. So basically.very happy with my Bronica kit. Whether the same holds true 'in the field' needs to be seen, but I can't fault the lenses.any 'issues' are likely to be down to my technique. I have done some comparisons using mirror lock up and tripod mounted.and so far, no noticeable difference in sharpness. So ideal circumstances for a lens to show it's best face. The caveat is that so far, I have mainly used the cameras in a studio environment, shutter speed 1/125 or 1/250, and mid aperture settings.all with strobes. I am particularly impressed by the PS lenses.but then I have used them more. I have been comparing sharpness to images from a FF Canon DSLR and allowing for the nature of film (HP5 in this case) sharpness is comparable. I have added a 40mm SP and 150mm SP to my SQ collection as well as a 40mm PE for my ETRSi. They are relatively cheap.īeen on a bit of a buying spree since my last post. So the telephoto lenses are not used often.įor wedding and portrait, there are plenty standard lenses. Both generations of lenses are compatible with the SQ-Ai. They are very useful for landscape, outdoors and indoor. Bronica SQ-Ai Lenses 50mm f/3.5, 90mm f/2.8, 250mm f/5.6 The Bronica lenses I have are all Zenzanon PS, and are supposed to have slightly better optics and coating than their predecessors, the Zenzanon S. So the most desirable lenses are PE 40mm, PS 40mm and PG 50mm. There is a book by Peter Williams "Medium Format Cameras, User's Guide to Buying and Shooting" and it gives excellent review on all Bronica lenses.įor medium-format photography, short-focus lenses are much sought after. Bronica SQ-Ai lens system Bronica SQ-Ai Lenses 50mm f/3.5, 90mm f/2.8, 250mm f/5.6 The Bronica lenses I have are all Zenzanon PS, and are supposed to have slightly better optics and coating than their predecessors, the Zenzanon S. The GS always has the latest design, so all PG lenses are excellent. The PS line is the newest, which offer half stop apertures, just like the PE line. PE is the best.įor SQ, the P line is very good. Most are good, but try to avoid the E MC 150mm F4. So get the best PE and PS lenses.įor ETR line, the MC line is old. In general, new lenses have the best design. I think it is better if you ask "what Bronica lenses do you recomend." It is hard to answer what is the "best".Īll the Bronica lenses are good quality.
