| Where does this leave the 6x6-er
on a budget? Look for a clean Bronica S2 or S2A (tank-like, all mechanical)...Jason Schneider (n.b. JS is the Camera Collector's Collector ;-) |
| What about a Classic 6x6: Older models like this Bronica S2A can be serviceable bargains (note: Bronica shown is not an S2A ;-) but we share his sentiments) |
