Zenza Bronica Bronica ETRC
The Bronica ETRC is a 6×4.5 medium format SLR from Zenza Bronica's ETR system, a modular Japanese camera line introduced in the 1970s. It was positioned as a more affordable entry into the ETR family, sharing the bayonet lens mount and interchangeable finders and backs of its siblings.
At UK auction, hammer prices for the Bronica ETRC have ranged from around £120 to £190, with both recorded sales falling in that band — figures that reflect wholesale saleroom levels rather than dealer retail. As of today in 2026, what an ETRC is worth depends heavily on whether a working lens, finder and 120 back are included, since complete outfits sell for more than bare bodies.

Is the Bronica ETRC a good value medium format camera?
At current price levels it offers an inexpensive route into 6×4.5 shooting, but budget for a CLA and verify the back, finder and lens are functional, as repair costs can exceed the camera's value.
