At that time, the S2A marking after the serial numbere was dropped. In 1973, a minor change was made in the neckstrap studs, altering so that they would accept the same neckstrap as the EC model.
Since there were almost no external changes, the model is identified by the designation S2A following the serial number. In 1969, the S2 was replaced with an internally modified version, identified as the S2A. The focusing tube for the Tele-Nikkors is the (current) #81505 unit.Īccessories.All prisms, hoods, grips, etc., that fit the (current) S2A will fit the S2. Lenses.All Bronica Nikkor and Zenzanon lenses fit the S2, including the large bayonet 105mm and 300mm. With the change in design to a front helical focusing mount, the accessory systems for Bronica were also changed. No mirror lock switch on bottom of body.Small release button for focus ring on front of body.No distance scale or focus control on advance knob.Removable helical (totating) focusing mount has black knurled knob for focusing on front of camera body.The primary change was the switch to a removable helical type focusing mount. The Bronica S2 followed the S in 1966 and incorporated a number of new features. There is no other difference in the cameras. Export models had a 1/1000 second top speed. NOTE: Bronica "C" models sold in the Japan Domestic Market had a top speed of 1/500 second. A special adapter allowed the use of the original S type bellows on the C and later models. The original extension tubes and bellows were replaced with new ones to fit the changed focusing system. Inserts for the S2/S2A will fit the "C" as will all lenses, hoods, prisms and grips. Removable focusing unit with distance scales for 50, 75, 135 and 200mm lenses.Double exposure control on dial on right side near frame counter setting switch.
Shutter speeds to 1/500th or 1/1000th second (see note). Intended as an economy version of the "S" it incorporated several features of the "D" and the new focusing mount soon to appear on the S2. The Bronica C was introduced in 1965 while the "S" was still being produced, and is the only model made by Bronica without interchangeable backs. The current tubes and bellows do not fit the S mount.Īll prisms, hoods and grips as well as the sportsfinder for the S2A will fit the S. This model also requires a special extension tube set and bellows. The present focusing tube will not fit the S camera. A special focusing mount adapter for tele-Nikkor lenses was made for the S fixed mount, but was not sold in the U.S. The 105mm f/3.5 Nikkor and 300mm f/4.5 Zenzanon will not fit. Top speed was lowered to 1/1000th second and the self-timer/long exposure control, double exposure and focus lock were eliminated.Īll Small bayonet mount Bronica Nikkor lenses fit the S body. The S model was introduced while the DeLuxe was still in production and represented a simplified version of that camera. Distance scale and focus control on ring around advance crank. Mirror lock w/switch below shutter release. Fixed, non-removable chrome focusing mount. It was available in chrome only and can be identified as follows: This is the second model introduced by Bronica. The S2A grips, however, will not fit fue to the bayonet fitting on the camera base, and a special tripod adapter #81502 was required to use either of these grips. The DeLuxe has double exposure capability, shutter speeds to 1/1250th second, a 2-10 second self-timer which also allowed timed long exposures of 2-10 seconds and a locking lever to lock the camera's focusing mount at any desired point.Īll small bayonet mount Auto-Nikkor and Zenzanon lenses fit the DeLuxe, as well as all five "S" series prisms and hoods. Focus lock lever on right front of body. 3 stud male bayonet fitting on bottom of camera body. Double exposure dial on right side of body. Speed dial on outside face of advance/focus knob. Focusing scale on upper part of advance/focus knob. The Deluxe is easily recognized by the following key features: The Bronica Deluxe, of "D" model was the first camera introduced by Zenza Bronica. In 1974, Ehrenreich Photo-Optical Industries published a nice little booklet titled Bronica Product Guide, It outlined the basic features and differences between the various models of the Bronica.
