Zenza Bronica Bronica ETRS

The Bronica ETRS is a medium format 6x4.5 SLR in Zenza Bronica's ETR system, using interchangeable film backs, finders and leaf-shutter lenses. It was positioned as a more compact and affordable alternative to 6x6 and 6x7 systems, aimed at wedding, portrait and studio photographers who wanted 120 roll-film quality in a smaller body.

At recent UK auction, hammer prices for Bronica ETRS bodies and basic outfits have ranged from roughly £180 to £330, with a median around £230 — wholesale saleroom levels rather than retail asking prices. Today in 2026 a clean, working ETRS with a 75mm lens, 120 back and prism finder tends to sell for more than a stripped body, and condition of the foam light seals and battery contacts is what most often decides whether an example is worth the top of the range or the bottom.
