With my deepest sadness, 6X6 Bronica has to go

To make room for this new arrival!

Lens is clean and the body is functional. Took it apart and just gave it good cleaning!

I have NO clue at all about this old vintage stuff, but all I can say is: Damn! What a beauty!

LOL, you're from Netherlands... and not aware of Hassy?

Congrats! She's a beauty!

...that Bronica of yours wouldn't happen to be an SQ-A, would it?

And it is fully working/not stolen? :O Sounds like an awesome deal. They go for £400-800 ($656-1313, prices from quick search on eBay) over here :/

Not stolen. Got it from a reputable photographer....I know where to find him.

And Yes, fully working!!! Every piece of it.

Beautiful classic! I just recently sold my Rolleiflex 3.5 MX-EVS kit. Just needed to move it to someone who would appreciate it. Person who purchased it was in Japan.

I'm going to have to start saving for a digital back!

It's amazing what Hasslblads are going for now on Craigslist. I have seen several with backs and lenses going for under $1K. Awfully tempting but I worry about being able to source film down the road.

I got some film from B&H.... doesn't seem like they'll be discontinuing it anytime soon.
If they do d/c film, then you'll just have to find you a digital back. Yes, they're expensive but much cheaper than they used to be... saw 80mp Leaf Aptus II for $31,000. And I think it'll fit right on to Hasselblad V body.

Thats really great, I was looking at getting one but the price put me off a little bit. It was £599 ($983)
Bornicas here are quite cheap, ETRSi (I know its 645 and not 6x6) can go for little as £199 ($326).

Good luck :P its expensive.

Good stuff John..

I could never afford a 'blad when I was shooting medium format so I opted for a Pentax 6x7 and Bronica ETRs. Sold the Pentax and the Bronica became my work horse. Made me a lot of money so I didn't go over to Hasselblad.
