The GS-1 is newer model with newer PG lens, I have experience with the ETRS which have older lens which I do not like so much, but I only tried their standard lens, S2 is an even older model so I doubt even I haven't tried an S2 before but look at the result pictures. There is a GS-1 selling for cheap near by but without back, I figure buying old accessories here and there would be more expensive, completed system would cost similar to SQ-A like you say. Yeah, I like a few things about the Mamiya TLR except the image quality, the standard lens wasn't even as good as fixed lens Yashica, Minolta autocord etc. and the SQ-A is not that much cheaper than the GS-1. The GS-1 is not that much bigger than the SQ-A. You just have to Swap 2 wires in the Speed-Grip to use all Nikon SB-Flash in Computer Mode its Excellent Lenses are said to be from Nikon Designers : This is how I found the Bronica GS-1 : a Modern and Versatile Camera ! So I searched for a ~similar Camera~ with Very Good Lenses.īut especially a Fast Flash Sync Speed, 1/500s ? The only Limiting Specification of the Pentax 6x7 was its Slow 1/30s Flash Sync. = Fantastic Colors and Contrast and Sharpness !!! I traded it for a Pentax 6x7 with a 90 and a 150mm, both F/2,8 But, they were So Soft, especially the 135 mm, that I brought it Back to the shop ! Does anyone here have experience with any of these models, what are your thoughts ?Hi Angelic !īefore buying a Pentax 6x7 in '81, I bought a Mamiya C220f with 3 lenses. I have look at Bronica SQ-A as well, a complete system would probably cost me around $1,300-1,400, it would almost be the more satisfactory option but more than twice the cost of the cheapest option, and I am not sure of spending so much money as a amateur.ĭoes anyone here have experience with any of these models, what are your thoughts? Super 66 with interchangeable back cost a lot higher. Heavy, and in some reviews not as durable as other 2 choices. + Price similar to Mamiya, Super 66 cost higher though, complete system $750-$800. + Very good lens quality, comparable to Hasselblad C, maybe just a hair below C T* Lens of average quality, not sure how if compares to S2, but not as sharp as Kowa, maybe not as good as Kiev as well. + Reliable, lightweight compared to the rest. + Cost slightly higher than S2, $500 for 3 lens, complete system cost around $800. On ETRS, the lens was only average in quality, not even as good as Kiev, maybe this earlier model is not good as well? I have experience with ETRS which have strong shutter vibration, does this earlier model have strong vibration? + Cheapest - body with 2 lens cost $400, complete with prism, additional back $600 I already have a Minolta Autocord now I am thinking of buying a complete system of 6X6 with wide and tele lens for portrait and a bit of landscape.
