Zenza Bronica Bronica EC
The Bronica EC is a 6x6 medium-format single-lens reflex camera from Zenza Bronica, introduced in the early 1970s as the successor to the earlier S-series bodies. It uses interchangeable film backs and a focal-plane shutter, and was positioned as a professional studio and location SLR competing with other Japanese 6x6 systems of the period.
UK auction data for the Bronica EC is extremely thin: the only verified hammer result on file is a single 1999 Christie's sale at £69, which reflects wholesale saleroom level rather than retail. Because that figure is decades old and based on one lot, it should not be treated as a reliable guide to what a Bronica EC is worth or sells for in 2026, and current values today are best confirmed against fresh comparable sales before buying or consigning.
Sales History
Prices shown are realised prices — auction results and completed eBay sales, never asking prices. Most saleroom figures are hammer prices, before commission; some houses publish a premium-inclusive figure, and we do not adjust for condition. Dealer and retail asking prices are typically higher. How this figure is calculated.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Bronica EC worth at UK auction?
Verified UK hammer data is limited to a single 1999 sale at £69, so a current price cannot be reliably stated from the data on file.
How much does a Bronica EC sell for today?
With only one historical auction record available, the value of a Bronica EC in 2026 should be checked against recent comparable sales rather than extrapolated from that single £69 result.
Is the Bronica EC a film camera?
Yes, it is a 6x6 medium-format SLR that uses 120 roll film via interchangeable backs.
