Special Thanks to Michael Buchstaller ([email protected]) For Supplying this EC-TL Manual Resource to us!!

Congratulations on your choice of the Zenza Bronica EC-TL single lens
reflex camera which offers the user the quality performance, handling
convenience and versatility required for professional-class photography.

The Zenza Bronica EC-TL is a camera which you can be proud of and 
which will justify your choice. It is a real ''system'' camera with a 
very high degree of interchangeability (lenses, finders, focusing screens,
film backs, etc.), as well as a built-in TTL (thru-the-lens) exposure
meter system which can be used for fully automatic exposure operations.
At the same time, however, there is complete manual override of the
automatic exposure system, as required by professional users.

To get best results from your camera, may we suggest that you read
this instruction manual carefully, before you even touch the camera.

Thoroughly familiarize yourself with its working parts, before loading
your first roll of film, and your pleasure in using the Zenza Bronica
EC-TL will be even greater.
