My newly acquired Bronica S2 is a brute.  Not only in terms of weight but the sound of the shutter going off is impressive.  I bought it used from a camera store that I won’t use anymore because they clearly hadn’t checked it ( or maybe they did) but it didn’t focus correctly.  This is a common problem with these cameras and is usually because the foam that situates the focusing screen deteriorates and correct focus is no longer possible.  I could have sent it back but I liked the camera so I paid to have KEH fix and now it’s perfect.  Funny story - when I got the camera from the unmentioned horrible reseller they hadn’t even cleared out the film that was still in the back - 120 Kodachrome!  This hasn’t been manufactured in years telling you how long this camera sat without being used.

The camera is all mechanical - no light meter or film advance.  They sometimes refer to this as the Japanese Hasselblad.  It takes medium format film ( either 120 or 220).  Here are some hot off the press pictures I took today
