Zenza Bronica Bronica SQ-A

The Bronica SQ-A is a 6x6 medium format single-lens reflex camera introduced by Zenza Bronica in 1982. It is a modular system camera with interchangeable film backs, viewfinders and focusing screens, positioned as a professional studio and wedding tool competing with the Hasselblad 500 series.

At recent UK auction, bodies and simple kits have fetched hammer prices between roughly £120 and £440, with a median around £350 across 2023–2025 sales. As of today in 2026, what an SQ-A is worth at saleroom level depends heavily on whether the lot includes a working waist-level or prism finder, a 120 back and a standard 80mm lens — complete outfits sit at the top of that range, while body-only lots sell for less.
