On a road trip, I usually bring everything. I understand that the 67/77 thing is the filter size. I see that on keh.com you can get a 50mm f3.5 PS (77) which tend to cost from 350-500 or else a 50mm f3.5 PS (67) which cost around 275. If the place allows drones, then I'll probably be carrying only the 50mm and the 150mm, to make some space for the DJI Mavic Pro. I want to get a 50mm lens for my Bronica Sqai. But I might, if I know I can take a good shot with it at a specific location. If I'm hiking, I don't usually bring the 250mm lens due to its weight. What I actually carry with me in the camera bag varies a little big depending on the trip. And even though the quality could be a bit better (had to do some DIY fixes with glue here and there), I like the size and it's sturdy enough to support a heavy camera like the Bronica. This is the widest rectalinear lens for the Bronica SQ system (the 35mm f3.5 is a fish eye), and is also one of the most expensive to purchase (at the time of writing only the rare 500mm f8 appears to cost more although I couldnt find a 35mm for sale). I didn't use it much when I was shooting digital, but I do now, all the time. I have a cable release, but I'm not going to recommend it since it recently broke (again).
Bronica sq a 50mm series#
First released in 1980 the Bronica SQ is a medium format camera that was developed in Japan as a cheaper, yet still high quality, alternative to Hasselblad’s imperious 500 series cameras (long a favourite of NASA and used on the Apollo 11 mission by. It's rather expensive but a nice change from when I used to hold my filters with rubber bands. Released in 1982 the Bronica SQ-A is an updated version of the original SQ released in 1980. To mount all these filters I use a Lee's holder. I also have Lee's color black and white filters. I have 3 ND filters from Lee, the whole set: little stopper (6 stops), big stopper (10 stops) and super stopper (15 stops). Be it different speeds, film stocks, or even color and black and white (although I don't shoot color, I could if I wanted to).

I tend to have both film backs loaded with film at all times, so if I'm out on the field and the conditions are not the best to take the exposed roll out and load some more film, I'm still able to keep shooting.

The drive ran at two frames every three seconds, with the batteries lasting for approximately 60 rolls of 120 film. The SQ-Am used six AA batteries to drive the motor, in addition to the a small 6 volt battery to power the camera's shutter and meter. We buy & sell all types of classic photographic equipment in-store and online. To make a reliable motor-driven SQ, therefore, the motor was incorporated into the body of the SQ-Am.
