Zenza Bronica ETRS in New York

[@AI-Hallucination]

People think sometimes miss how much we are interested in other humans. Thats why i love your photos

[@JackFlower]

7:45 is beautiful. Album cover material

[@JacobCarlson]

I love how the photos turned out, Ed! Some of them were completely different than I thought they would be. Let me know when you want to borrow the camera again!

[@edpavez]

Thanks, man. Let's make it happen again!

[@AI-Hallucination]

Thanks both of you😍

[@patrickjclarke]

Jacob, I really wish I would have bought the 135w back 5 years ago when it was "only" $400 or so. Would love to have that X-Pan feel...That and mine didn't have the crank since it came with the speed winder...and that crank is like $150! But I love it as it's the perfect size and quality.

[@joshjardim]

Just picked up my first medium format camera today, the Zenza Bronica ETRS! So thankful for this video. I’m so stoked 🤘🏼

[@voidhalation]

I cherish my ETRSi. Bought it from a watch manufacturer 8 years ago and has never let me down

[@lensman5762]

Bronica was a quality manufacturer of cameras and lenses with a very successful range of ETR 6X4.5, SQ 6X6 and the GS 6X7 cameras. It was acquired by Tamron in 1998. Their last camera, and perhaps the most iconic was the 645 RF which was a rangefinder ( highly sought after ) and that was killed off by Tamron in 2005. It is worth nothing that Sony, who have a vested interest in killing analogue photography, have a 12% holding in Tamron which makes them the 2nd largest share holder in Tamron. I used to have an ETRS with full range of lenses and accessories including metering prism, polaroid back, etc etc in the mid 80s and I sold them for next to nothing in the early 1990s. I still have the compendium lenshood and masks somewhere. BTW, I think that expired transparency is really shifting towards blue now. Perhaps an 81C or even an 81 EF filter would be useful next time.

[@Sc3ptor]

Such great shots! I especially loved the photo of the boy on the hoverboard! Little serendipitous moments that make me miss the east coast

[@selzzaW]

Love the ETRSi. I use it primarily for landscapes, but it's excellent for portraits too. The lenses have 5-bladed apertures that give you pentagonal bokeh.

[@godscola]

Time and again you prove why you're one of my favourite street photographers Ed. Beautiful work as always, and it's fun to see you trying out different cameras!

[@goatphew]

The shot of the dog was incredible!!!

[@SatanSupimpa]

I think the first picture is my favorite one. So monochrome. And props for spotting a Pentax user in the wild.

[@ProSimex84]

What's that giant tower in the background?

[@SatanSupimpa]

@@ProSimex84 Yep

[@thegroove2000]

Lovely rendering. Brings such a pleasent look to everything.

[@paultaylorphotography9499]

Maaaate lovely work. I bought an ETRSi in the late 80s for wedding and portrait work loved it to bits and as didge took off I couldn’t bear to part with it. The last couple of years I’ve got back into film in my spare time out came the Bron primary for landscapes sadly I drown it fried at the ocean I miss that workhorse so much I do have an older ETR which I’m giving a go I just love everything about these brons. Liked n subbed cheers

[@-grey]

The blue and gold looks so good, it kind of looked like Astia, and there was a nice softness to this lens.

[@theclovercross]

dude your new vids are so chill. loving the vibe~ more up my alley now. I've always liked your content but the street shooting was a bit too hardcore for me before haha. btw, gotta love how slides do these blue sights with water and wide views. stellar!

[@danielaravenous]

Beautiful images! I think it captures a very interesting depth of field.

[@sansclous]

Beautiful blue tones.

[@cameronmartin645]

I have an etrsi for landscape photography. Can't see myself doing street with it though, the "clunkt" mirror slap isn't super discreet.

[@sexysilversurfer]

Yes but he doesn’t care about being spotted, if you watch his videos you will see how close he gets, a bit of Winogrand in there!.

[@patrickjclarke]

After owning a ton of medium format cameras, I've gone back to my ETRSi as my go-to, even though I love shooting squares. I have the AE II Prism finder so it really is easy and fast to shoot and I've been super impressed with the 40mm PE lens as well as the 75 and 150. I've shot a few rolls of Lomochrome Purple in it recently and it's been amazing. Only downside is that you have to remember to turn off the AE prism AND lock the shutter or it will slowly eat your battery. But like with most camera's once you learn that it's easy to remember to do. Eduardo, the shots from this series are really really great and I think 645 suits you. If you had to choose, LC-A 120 or the Bronny?

[@okyeabuddyguy]

Enjoying discovering your channel! No disrespect but I noticed some shots seem maybe a bit overexposed? Was it too bright for the 1/500 top shutter to handle or were you using the AE Prism meter and it was off?

[@MikeFilancPhotography]

Looks like fun times and a beautiful day in Brooklyn! Bravo 👏🏽

[@stuartconnelly5397]

I always carry some small stickies for the 120mm film when finished. Couple of times they have unravelled in my box.

[@ZainRiza]

That couple sitting on the anvil. Such a good frame.

[@ibilki]

Bronica, appareils très bien pensés, très bien construits et excellentes optiques. J'ai un SQ-A et je me régale avec ce boîtier. Gracias Eduardo

[@evilboarder]

Great shots, specially the last one. What did you use for metering ?

[@debalways]

The photos were gorgeous ! I’ve always wanted a Mamiya 645 but I’m sold on this camera

[@marioduvernay5840]

i have that same camera with that same setup! its like 35mm on steroids

[@emanuelmartinfernandez4710]

Me encantaron los tonos y cada fotografía. Saludos!

[@MikeEvansHfd]

You have such an easy way with people. 👍

[@youarenotaghost2589]

Did I sub because of the jazz? No. But it didn't hurt. What a beautiful vid to make tacos to. Thank you for making my Sunday evening.

[@TheOnemanrock]

wow the last pic is amazing

[@StuartHerrington]

I have the ETRS, with 35mm panoramic back 😎It’s really heavy with the pano back, prism and speed grip though lol.

[@SinaFarhat]

Nice! Did you colour correct the Ektachrome frames or did you keep the expired colour cast on the final scans and edits?

[@edpavez]

Yeah, this Ektachrome had a huge blue cast, so I corrected it to look more similar to my other Ektachrome slides.

[@ReimannPembroke]

Great video as always man! I love the vibe of your videos. These images were killer! I really want to go shoot a video and take some photos in New York soon

[@barbaracourtens]

Awesome, just bought this camera, I'm glad you made a video about it!! :D

[@LarryParamedic1]

Nice thing about the Bronica PE Lenses is the 62mm filter size. I can use 62mm filters from my Nikon Lenses and save some money along the way.

[@g9in]

고맙습니다. 멋진 사진과 영상입니다. Thank you!

[@KSCasareo]

I just found this camera with the grip attached. How do I remove it to access the battery?

[@wessidemd]

Where can I find an eye cup for the viewfinder? All I see online are hard plastic ones.

[@taehanyoun8126]

New York is the perfect place for street photography. I wish I lived there XD btw what an amazing color for expired slide film.

[@photomaster1]

Thank you for doing this, and taking the time for great muszak too lol. I still was a little surprise about the reason why getting the Bronica camera I have Mamiya 645's and the only reason why was due to the price at the time they were cheap. Even the AFD was way less than 500 USD, and the most odd thing for me was the film back was less than 100 USD at the time now I'm a bit surprised how the prices have gone. I would mention the prices but I think some people would be a tad upset.. I do like my Rz's but I do understand why many people like the supers and pro's too.

[@FramesPerSecond]

The leaf shutter almost makes me want to trade my Mamiya 645. But I love my 80mm 1.9 lens too much.

[@evelyngodoyotarola9368]

Nooo! Extrañé tu reseña de la cámara. Amada esa cámara 😍

[@MIikel17]

Salieron super las fotos Eduardo!

[@karolaljecira7294]

Me acuerdo cuando el señor de una comida rápida escribió tu nombre completo y tu estabas pequeño la historias fantástica y contaste lo de las chanclas y el ovni

[@jeffersonesarahgaino4590]

I'm from Brazil. Good work!!!

[@oliverhemmings1978]

Great video! I recently received a ETRS and am just trying to work out a few things. Firstly, does the shutter only fire with a film in? How did you work out which shutter and aperture to use without the use of a light metre

[@samuel3471]

That’s correct it will only fire the shutter with film in - but you can over ride using the multiple exposure lever.

[@kodithebear]

Cool photos 🔥 Interesting camera 🤪

[@morg7736]

Just got my bronica s. And I'm thinking about buying an SQ. Have you tried that one yet?

[@Yosser70]

Well this video cost me a bunch of cash! lol Got a minty ETRS on it’s way, with winder and AE finder 😀 Love the look of film so finally took the plunge. Do you find people more receptive when you approach them with a big old film camera, rather than say a slr or dslr? Seems to me it’s a matter of scale in a way, if someone asked you if the could take your photo and pulled out an iPhone, it’d be a bit weird but if they had a 10x8, you’d probably be flattered. The 645 definitely seems to be on the right side of that equation lol

[@edpavez]

The camera changes how open people are about having their picture taken. I love TLRs for that reason. But of course the camera is like 20%, the rest is how you conduct yourself, how friendly you are, etc.

[@Yosser70]

@@edpavez Absolutely mate, definitely about how you act. Yeah, bet people are fascinated by a TLR, most wont have seen anything like them.

[@milodermick2981]

Very nice shoot !

[@TomRehulka]

Love your work, let me know if you come to Berlin!

[@stevenpam]

Hey Eduardo, I had an ETRSi kit back in the late 90's - great system. Of course its was not intended as a street camera (a 645 rangefinder would be better for that), but as always you have made some great pictures with it (and with lovely tunes, too). What is the name of that location where you were? I like that that manual winder / grip - I had a motor winder, but that would be less useful today than the manual grip. Greetings from Australia! Enjoy the summer up there 😀

[@edpavez]

that's Dumbo, in Brooklyn!

[@ChrisVidouras]

Ah, he's back! Life is back, New York is back!! Its great to see the streets return to normal, street photography has survived the pandemic.

[@LostJediJC]

you should add the interaction also, would've loved to hear what that woman said

[@edpavez]

oh she asked if I was a photographer and if I knew where to find entry-level photography classes. I didn't feel it was worth letting all that interaction in the video, that's why it's edited out. :)

[@district5rookie]

That last frame.

[@tk1814]

something about this episode just felt right...like an old shoe :)

[@sktvictor]

awesome man

[@painkiller6219]

7:44 great

[@user-kw5gt4fj9r]

I have the Bronica and I’ve never liked the images it produces compared to my Hasselblad cm 500. I feel the same after watching this.

[@fiuttello]

It's 6x4.5 so don't expect miracles

[@caroslavvehiculovic2171]

I have them both too and I totally disagree! The etrsi is super easy to use. Is smaller and lighter, and if you have the 135w back and the 40mm PE Lens nothing beats it!

[@ДенисЯковлев-х3ц]

Спасибо за видео,мотивирует взять фотоаппарат и идти делать фото,привет из России!

[@edpavez]

Я рада, что это видео вас вдохновило! Все лучшее для вас!
