Review 1 of 3

Price Paid:  $700.00 from Casey's Camera's

Summary:
There are a lot of other medium format camera's out there, but I think that Bronica gives maximum bang for the buck. I would not have to think twice about buying Bronica equipment again if I ever need to purchase more photo gear! The bottem line is that this lens is durable and works flawlesly.

Strengths:
Excellent contrast & color rendition. Much less expensive than Zeiss, for such a great lens!

Weaknesses:
None that I've ever come across, aside from the fiddely way they set it up for timed exposure.

Similar Products Used:
None in medium format, aside from my 150mm PS lens but most other brands in 35mm, both manual & auto focus.

Customer Service:
Never needed to find out.
