Bronica EC 

w/ 75/2.8 Nikkor P and 12/24 back

The EC is one of the last focal plane 6x6 Bronicas.    The EC is  relatively hard to find and not a lot of people are familiar it.   This is unfortunate since they are superb cameras with lots of features, part of a large professional system. 

Bronica EC features

• An innovative split mirror, half of which goes up, half of which goes down, to reduce noise and vibration
• Electronic controlled shutter for greater shutter accuracy
• Close focusing to 18" with the 75/2.8 without accessories (try that with your Hassy)
• Interchangeable focusing screens
• An easily switchable 12 or 24 back (120 or 220 film)
• A convenient dark slide storage on the back of the magazine
• Bright easy to see focusing screen
• A large range of shutter speeds, 1/1000th down to 4 seconds
• A very convenient PC connection which automatically locks in a standard PC cord
• Optional TTL metering with the separate meter head
• Easy depth of field preview
• Inserting dark slide automatically detaches back
• Fast (for a focal plane 2 1/4 shutter) electronic sync speed of 1/60th
• Very convenient operation and handling. 

The Bronica EC  is a quality professional camera with a huge system of lenses and accessories behind it.   It offers an incredible bargain, dollar to performance, compared to Hassy.
