Description from the seller

In this lot a splendid modular medium-format camera with exceptional professional performance: the Zenza Bronica ETR, produced in Japan starting from 1976. This famous SLR system adopts the versatile 6x4.5 cm format on 120 film, offering the perfect balance between the very high quality of the medium-format negative and the handling of a compact camera.

The specimen mounts the appreciated standard Zenzanon MC 75mm f/2.8 lens, renowned for its sharpness and the optimal color rendition thanks to the multistrat anti-reflective coating. Equipped in this configuration with a fixed Eye-Level Prism Finder, it is an iconic instrument ideal for portrait and fashion photography in the studio, as well as for reportage and outdoor landscapes.

The lot is presented in good general condition, with normal signs of use and storage consistent with the object's age, configured with its film back, the prism and the lens.

Optics: The Zenzanon MC 75mm f/2.8 lens appears visually in overall good condition. The lenses are clear and the multicoating is well preserved. As is physiological for vintage devices, there may be minimal specks of internal dust that do not affect the final image quality. The focus and aperture rings move smoothly and evenly.

Mechanical and electronic overall functioning.

Aesthetics: Good general condition, as clearly documented by the photographs. A slight dirt inside the prism viewfinder is noted, which however does not compromise use and framing. The camera body, the film back and the prism feature a black livery well preserved, with the normal and light signs of use localized mainly on the edges and contact areas, perfectly in line with professional use of the era. The imitation leather covering is intact and free of significant peeling.

Included accessories: Zenza Bronica prism finder / 120 film back (6x4.5) / Quick-release lever on the side, strap, manual.

International tracked shipping, fully insured and professional super-protective packaging to guarantee maximum safety during transport.
