The Bronica Slr Systems: Complete Bronica User's Guide (Hove User's Guide)

Rating:
Summary: Concise and Lucid. A must for Bronica aficionados.
Review: Mr. Beard does an excellent job of presenting the entire line of Bronica Cameras, and chronicles the history of roll film cameras in general from past to present. Little known historical facts, such as the origin of the name "Broncia" are one of the many interesting facets of this technical, but easy to read book. He details the history and full specifications of the excellent Zenzanon lenses, including those for the ETRSi, SQ-Ai, and GS-1. Every accessory is reviewed and explained in great detail, with photographs, and tips for getting the most out of your equipment. If you own or plan to buy a Bronica Camera, this book is a bargain at it's cover price. I'd recommend buying it for students of photographic history as well.
