The Bronica SQ-A w/ 80mm f/2.8 PS, Metered Prism, 120 Film Back makes for a good choice for wedding and portrait photographers, thanks to the image area it generates, which is 3.5 times the 35mm. Its shutter features a leaf-like design, which ensures flash synchronization at 1/500th of a second. The closest distance from which this camera can capture clear images is 80 ft. The metered prism of this camera gets you a good view of scenes before you can take pictures. You may insert a 120mm film roll into the film back and take pictures in the 6×6 cm format.

Optics and Focus

The 80mm f/2.8 PS lens included with this film camera is capable of capturing high-quality photographs. The 80 ft minimum focus distance lets you shoot clear pictures without having to get too close to subjects. The ISO ranges between 25 and 6,400 in 1/3rd EV increments, while the shutter speed ranges between 16 seconds and 1/500th of a second. The exposure-metering functions assist in a variety of photography tasks. You can also preview the field depth with the help of the depth-of-field lever of the lens. The mirror lock-up feature of this camera aids in long exposures and in reducing vibrations that can be caused when long lenses are attached.

Sensor and Screen

The metered prism of the Bronica SQ-A camera lets you view scenes with ample clarity before capturing photographs of the intended subjects.

Image and Video

After loading the Bronica SQ-A camera’s film back with a 120mm film roll, you may capture up to 12 photos in the 6×6 cm format.

Other Features

The SQ-A from Bronica can be fitted on tripods that have a 1/4-inch screw thread. To capture bright photos in the dark, you may also attach an external flash on top of the camera. This medium-format camera runs on four LR44 alkaline batteries, which can also power the attached prism finder.
