Rumors of Bronica SQ/GS Production to End?

The Bronica GS-1 is a 6x7cm SLR distributed by Tamron/Bronica. The GS-1 is a relatively compact SLR compared to its chief competitors, the Mamiya RB/RZ67 series. The GS-1 is an ideal field and travel camera, being not much bigger or heavier than many 6x6cm systems, yet providing an "ideal format" 6x7cm negative.

The "ideal format" concept is simply that you can crop in the camera, and enlarge directly to standard printing paper sizes with minimal cropping or loss of negative area. Hence, the 6x7cm format offers a circa 25% increase in usable negative area over a cropped 6x6cm or standard 6x4.5cm negative. West Coast Imaging (see MF FAQ) suggests that 6x6cm enlarges well up to 16x20", while a 6x7cm negative supports up to 20x24" enlargements. In fairness to the Mamiya 6x7cm SLRs, they have rotating backs and bellows leaf shutter lens mounts which makes them very handy in the studio and for closeup work. The other major 6x7cm SLR is the focal plane shutter Pentax 6x7cm SLR models. The Pentax 6x7cm has a number of nice longer telephoto lenses, among other optics, which are relatively modest cost in part due to the lack of a leaf shutter in each lens.

So why doesn't the Bronica GS-1 get more respect? If you wanted a low cost 6x7cm SLR, the Pentax 6x7cm SLR models have more lens choices, at lower prices partly due to the lack of leaf shutter lenses in each model. If you prefer leaf shutter lenses, the Mamiya RB/RZ67 6x7cm SLR series have a more diverse line of lenses, including fisheyes and ultrawides as well as soft focus and APO telephotos. While the Mamiya RB/RZ have a built-in (non-tilting) bellows for closeups, the GS-1 only has one pricey auto extension tube ($500 US) and a bellows (circa $1,800 USD).

The table of GS-1 lenses below shows the somewhat limited nature of GS-1 lenses, especially in the wide angle and specialty lens range (e.g., soft-focus, long telephotos). A few of the lenses are a third to a full stop slower than competitor's lenses of similar focal lengths (mainly telephotos).

LENSES for BRONICA GS-1:

f/l (mm) f/stop  $US (B&H)
50mm      4.5    $1,700

Careful shopping on EBAY and online dealers and photo-net will turn up many relative bargains in Bronica GS-1 lenses, bodies, prisms, and accessories, often at half or less the street price. The flip side of that observation is that if you are buying new GS-1 gear, be sure the camera is what you want and meets your needs by renting or trying out extensively first! Otherwise, you may be one of those taking a major loss on GS-1 gear by selling it into a depressed market.

To my mind, the big advantages of the Bronica GS-1 is its relatively compact size and easy handling coupled with professional quality leaf shutter lenses and advanced electronics (autoexposure and TTL auto-flash but not autofocus). Can you live with the limited lens line, lack of rotating back, and limited close-focusing of the lenses and macro capabilities? If yes, then you may find the Bronica GS-1 to be the best current 6x7cm SLR for field and traveling use. If you just need or want a two or three lens 6x7cm camera kit, you may be able to build up a GS-1 kit at a surprisingly modest cost on the used market.

The above lens tests may be of interest, though you should refer to the main article for fuller details and related Modern Photography tests for comparative data. Note that this test also relates the contrast percentages (center/edge) as well as lpmm resolution (center and edge). Contrast interpretation varys with lens type, with the 150mm f/4 lens scores all being "hi" on contrast, the 65mm f/4 lens center contrast values also all rating a "hi" grade as did the center contrast values for the 100mm f/3.5.

Keep in mind that these lenses cover 6x7cm, or 25% more than 6x6cm, so slightly lower scores than typical 6x6cm lenses is still very respectable performance. The 100mm lens had 1.5% barrel distortion and lost 1.2 stops in the edges. The 65mm lens had 0.6% barrel distortion and lost 1.25 stops. The camera with Waist level finder and back plus batteries weighs a hefty 2 lbs, 13 3/4 oz. (1298 gms). The 100mm lens adds 1 lb. 5 13/16 oz. or 620 gms to that total, making the camera over 4 lbs total! The GS-1 is moderately loud, at 85 dB at 1/125th second shutter noise levels.

My opinions (not necessarily shared by others):

>Any comments anyone?

A fine camera and system especially for field work, or combo field/studio work. System is easy to use, pieces and parts work together as a well-thought-out whole. Excellent lenses, all leaf shutter, so fill flash sychronizes at all shutter speeds. Big and heavy, but no more so than Pentax 67, and much smaller/lighter than RB/RZ. New prices are high, but not so bad used.

>Why is the GS1 less popular than the Mamiya RB/RZ system?

1. Smaller system (i.e., fewer lenses and accessories).
2. Little promoted by its distributor (Tamron).
3. Heavy promotion by Mamiya of their 6x7 products.
4. Lack of rotating back in the GS-1 makes RB/RZ a more desirable studio camera.
5. RB has been around longer.

> How difficult is it to hand-hold the GS1?

Not difficult at all if you have the excellent speed grip. Much more comfortable to hold than RB/RZ, IMO.

Hi, Frank,

I have two GS-1 bodies, five lenses, both AE finders and other items such as extension tubes and teleconverters. Except for one back, all was purchased used, mostly from Midwest Photo. It's been a great system and has given me outstanding results. It's an easy system to use, and although heavy, is not too bad to lug around. I use my system mostly in the field, but do some portraits and group shots as well. As for lenses, the 100mm is a dream...as sharp as anything I've seen in medium format. It's great for group portraits and ok for head and shoulder shots. The 150 or 200 would be better for the tighter shots. As for wide angle, the 65 is a good all around choice and still uses 72mm filters. The 50 is good, too, but a little softer wide open at the edges and it takes 95mm (ouch!) filters. A good three lens outfit would be the 65, 100, and 200. I don't personally have much use for the 80 (rare), 250 (big), or 500 (ridiculous $$$). The 1.4x extender is good, the 2x is not. IMO.

The GS-1 is a heavy outfit for weddings. I don't shoot weddings, so I can't really comment with any authority, but a 6x6 or 645 system would probably be a better choice for wedding work.

What to watch out for? Well, the lenses. After a number of years, the lens shutter actuating pin can become stiff, and this is exacerbated by cold weather. I had three of my lenses quit on me in 30 degree F weather. The camera couldn't move the lens pin and the system locked up. Tamron fixed the lenses quickly and they're like new now, but at a cost of $190 per lens.

I have a post on Robert Monaghan's web site that discusses how to check for this. It's an easy process that requires no tools or disassembly and can be done in less than a minute. Buy lenses that have a freely moving pin, and you won't need service for a long time. Check

Hi Frank,

Congratulations on your choice. The GS-1 is a great camera with fantastic lenses, and without the Hasselblad price. (Although I still lust for a Hasselblad). As a long time GS-1 user, here's a few lessons I've learned:

Forget the wide angle lens. I had the 50mm lens and paid $1500 used and never used it. I discovered that I am a portrait photographer, and never did any landscape or any of the "creative" wide angle shots. However, if you shoot weddings or do field work as you stated, you may like the wide lens. The standard lens (100mm) is a good choice for group and head & shoulder shots. However, I mostly use the 150mm for the latter. I use the 100, 150, and 200mm lenses. Almost all my portrait photography is with the 150mm lens.

I prefer the rotary prism finder. Especially since I mostly do portraits of small children, this finder has really saved my neck. Getting low with this finder is so easy. And coupled with the Bogen 3051 tripod and 3265 pan head, I can work very quickly to get the shot.

Forget the 120 back. As this is the 6x7 size in the medium format category, you only get 10 shots per 120 roll. Better to go with the 220 back and get 20 shots per roll. I found with the 120 backs I was changing rolls often, and at the most critical times. Also, invest in a second back.

If you work outside and primarily with ambient light, you may be shooting at fairly slow shutter speeds. If so, you may want to get the Electro-magnet cable release. It'll guarantee you didn't shake the camera during exposure. I love mine.

I wouldn't consider the Bronica Speed-Light Flash. It's much too expensive, and you can get stronger pro flashes at cheaper prices. I rarely use flash, but when I do, I use a Quantum Q Flash T2 with a GS-1 module to make it a true TTL dedicated flash for the GS-1.

Lastly, I know of no problems with any of the backs, lenses, finders, bodies. The only gripe I have is that Tamron should offer a motorized winder for the GS-1.

Hope this helps.

- David

I have both the 100 and 110 macro. I find the image quality to be pretty much identical between the two (both are very sharp lenses). I have seen some MTF charts that would suggest that the 110 Macro is much sharper, but I can't see it in my photographs. I was running into the close focus limit on the 100 often enough that the Macro made sense to me. The other choice is extension tubes, but since Bronica doesn't make a really short one, there is virtually no overlap between close focus without the tube and longest focus with the tube. Makes them pretty much impractical for gaining closer focus with moving subjects.

I also find having f/32 on the Macro more useful than having f/3.5 on the non-macro (even though I do a lot of selective focus work, the difference between f/3.5 and f/4 just isn't that much). I'd definately skip the 100 and go for the 110 if I were doing it again (resale on the GS-1 100 is pretty bad so I haven't really tried to sell it, anyone want one?).

The 110 is getting close to the 150 which makes it a bit hard to justify both. The 150 with the 1.4X converter does make a nice closer focusing lens than the 200. I really wish Bronica would make the 180mm lens from the SQ and ETRS lines available for the GS-1. I also wish they made a really mild extension tube.

I have had good success with Nikon dual-element closeup diopters 5T and 6T on the 100mm, 150mm and even the 200mm. I use step-down rings to go from the 72mm (or 82mm) lens filter size to the 62mm size of the 5T/6T. I have not noticed any vignetting on 6x7. Results are excellent.

Subject: Re: Re: GS-1 vs. others...

I have a pretty complete GS-1 system (2 bodies, 5 lenses, 3 finders, etc.).
Here is my $0.02:

1. Optical quality vs. Hasselblad - I've only seen a comparison of the PG
100 to the Zeiss 80 (don't know which model). Examination of the chromes
didn't reveal any meaningful differences. The other GS-1 lenses I have (50,
65, 150, 200) have given me excellent results. The 50 is slightly soft in
the corners wide open but that doesn't diminish its usefulness. Perhaps
it's due to the retrofocus design of this lens.

2. Fear of Tamron dropping the system: probably well-founded. I look at
it this way. Repair will probably continue at least 10 years after the line
is discontinued, and I now have all the pieces/parts that I think I'll ever
need. Therefore, I don't worry too much about it. As of today, of course,
the GS-1 is still in the Tamron catalog. 

3. Digital back: I'm not aware of one, but then I haven't looked for one.
I don't much care about this, either. My plan is to buy a Nikon 8000ED
scanner or equivalent and continue shooting on film. This will give me very
high resolution image files when I need them.

4. As for the accessories you listed, I would look into the rotary prism
finder if you're going to be doing any studio work. The speed grip is a
must-have for hand-held shooting. It changes the handling of the camera
completely. It's great. The GS-1 flash is not much to write home about.
It is essentially a slightly souped up Vivitar 283. In a December 8, 1998
post, Henry Posner of B&H Photovideo said that the Bogen SCA 386 #5571 works
with the Metz line and the GS-1. This might be a better option. I use a
Nikon SB24 with my system. No TTL, but it works for me.

5. Good places to shop in my experience are Midwest Photo in Columbus, OH,
and KEH in Atlanta.

Subject: Re: Which MF camera for portraits and weddings?

I stepped up to a Bronica GS-1 for the 6x7 format in studio and location work.
For weddings I bought a 220 6x6 back because flipping a large camera with all
its accessories for 8 hours is not an insignificant mechanical and physical
challenge.

I also liked the fact that the GS-1 with a 120 back, waist level finder, and
standard lens weighed about as much as a similarly configured Hassy.

HOWEVER, If I did it all over again I would stick to the Mamiya C330. I still
have the S model with the 105DS and 135, but for weddings would add a 65 and 55
mm plus one or two extra bodies. In fact, I may revert to this set up after
all.

WHY? 
1) A C330 body costs as little as a MF SLR back. Slap a body on it and you save
lens changing time.
2) The TLR has the focus and lens framing advantages of the SLR but is as quiet
as a rangefinder.
3) The C330 switches easily from 120 to 220 film.
4) The lenses cost less than half that of MF SLR's and are half the size.
($filters$)
5) Sometimes I use a green filter for heavy makeup and blemish problems in B&W
photography. You can't view through a green filter on an SLR; you can with a
TLR.
6) I overcame the problem of soft and vignette filters by slotting a Mamiya box
lens shade and making my own filters.
7) A C330 with lens and film and porrofinder weighs half that of a MF SLR. 
8) No Stroboframe for the C330? Again, no problem. Go to Home Depot and pick up
some 1 inch aluminum stock, some screws, and the appropriate tap/drill sets and
twist yourself up a dandy Flash/Accessory frame. (Requires a drill and vise)
Accessory Shoes for you radio slave and little stuffed Canary Bird so the kids
smile at you and your scary 'rig' are already at your camera shop. Spray paint
it Black and make a Custom Frame brand name sticker on your inkjet. Put your
name as the brand name. Cooool.

NO CACHE?  Hey, Helmut Newton used a Rollieflex and Avedon danced around with a
C220 a time or two. And who sees the C TLR series anymore? It is novel and just
rack out that bellows and it is an impressive piece of machinery. 

Good luck and be happy with your choice because when you drag it all to the
wedding, that is the gal you will have to dance with.

Not always but in some cases pulling thicker film with a paper back can
place an added strain on the winding mechanism in the back.

In the case of the GS-1 there is a small chance that 120 film could cause a
problem with the clutch in the insert.

I found the GS-1 lenses to be inferior (specifically the 150 mm) in barrel and
chromatic distortion. I hear the 80, 100, and 110 GS lenses are phenomenal.

I use the extension rings for close portraits without a problem.

In this day of digital, the 645 back seems to be the recipient of attention for
digital. That might be a consideration.

I have a lovely GS-1 system and it takes great pictures. The 6x7 neg is as
close as you can get to the 4x5 neg. Landscapes require apochromatic lenses to
preserve fine detail. I would go with a 4x5 with an APO for landscapes and the
645 for portraits, . . .

I have two GS-1 bodies, five lenses, and a number other accessories.  I've
really enjoyed this system.  It produces top quality results for me.  When I
was shopping around for a MF system, my requirements were for a 6x7 leaf
shutter SLR with interchangeable backs suited for field work.  While the
Mamiya RB/RZ are great systems, the substantially larger size steered me
away from them.  This led me to the GS-1.  Used, you can get some good
deals.  New, B&H Photo has a GS-1 package with 80mm lens, AE finder and
back, all for approx $2,100.  This is a very good deal.

A good lens combination is the 50/80/150, or 65/100/200.  There is a 250mm
lens, but it's quite a bit larger than the 200.  Another nice lens is the
110 macro, but I find I get excellent close up shots with the 100 or 200,
extension tubes and the Nikon 5T and 6T close up diopters.  The 1.4x
extender is very good, but I don't think much of the 2x.  The AE rotary
finder overcomes some of the inconvenience of not having a rotating back.

The GS-1 system is not nearly as large in terms of number of pieces as
Mamiya or Pentax, but it has all the essentials for most people.

Try to move the multi-exposure lever to the multi position and see if you
can wind the film advance crank.  If so, you can then remove the lens as
needed.  Put a lens cap on the lens, or cover the lens, press the shutter
release, return the multi lever to single, and wind the film.  Hopefully,
all will be back to normal.

I checked the web site and they do have a manual for
the GS-1 for $10.99. You may be able to get it for
free somewhere else. The address for the manual is
http://www.manualsrus.com/Shopping_Cart/photo/cameras/bronica/BronicaGS1.asp
Or you can go to the main page at
www.manualsrus.com

Have fun with your new camera,

David
