![]() As Malcolm Myers mentioned in his Yashica article recently, when discussing the ETRS, without a prismatic viewfinder it is odd trying to frame a shot with the camera on its side: the usual left is right and up is down are all the more confusing. With the ETRS’s 6×4.5 output, all images are in landscape orientation but the shape of the frame seemed perfect for portraits. My engineering student rather liked this firmness on the Hasselblad as opposed to the quieter sound of the 35mm camera he was also using. Once set up for a shot, the dark slide was extracted and a shutter press gave a solid sound. The Zenzanon MC lens showed aperture settings from f/22 to f/2.8 and distance from infinity down to 0.6m (2 feet). I eventually tried a city-centre shop with mixed results.Īs well as the Bergger Pancro, I have now tried ILFORD SFX and PAN F PLUS, as well as Kosmo Foto 100. The SFX and Kosmo films have produced the best results (they are always my favorites), but this may be from a combination of factors as the Bergger Pancro and Ilford PAN F PLUS work quite well in other cameras.įocus using the 75mm lens and looking through the waist-level viewfinder with its split-image rangefinder was easy to accomplish. ![]() It took me several weeks to see any output as my usual lab was closed for refurbishment. My Agfa Record III produces 6x9cm images (8 per roll) and the Hasselblad, 6圆cm (12 per roll) but the Bronica ETRS uses the 6×4.5cm format, giving 15 photographs from a roll of 120 film.Īfter finally learning how to load the film, I started with one of my regular film choices: Bergger Pancro 400. The main purpose of my cameras is taking photographs, but each camera has its own special features some of which require me to make some adjustment for the best results. I note that others also had this problem. I flipped the lever and loaded the third roll: the counter moved correctly. This is to allow double exposure so does not wind the film on.
