Production of the last Bronica SQ-Ai model (including lenses and accessories) finished at the end of September 2003, with sales continuing until inventories were depleted.
#BRONICA SQ A SERIES#
I should add that I removed the lens and was able to get the lens to fire by itself manually using my nail to press in the lever, and also it seems to sometimes fire briefly when on the camera when switching from "S" back to "N" mode (I see it quickly open and close, and the little red dot illuminates). The Bronica SQ series is a line of 6圆 medium format SLR camera system introduced in 1980. I got a good deal on it so I'm hoping I won't have to return it.
I tried a cable release as well and same thing.ĭoes anyone have any ideas? This is supposed to be a working camera so I feel like I'm missing something, but I've owned one of these in the past and am stumped. It just feels stuck, the same feeling you usually feel when you try to shoot with the dark slide in. I feel honored to be able to do that, through knowing some lovely and talented people that make it possible for us to experience the festival without having to be actual festival-goers. We wandered the music festival grounds last night.
I have tried disconnecting both the lens and the back and it still doesn't fire. goatsbeard, Bronica SQ-A and Fuji Acros 100 + close up filter. I've tried with film or without when the camera is in multiple exposure mode. Unfortunately, I didnt got the metering finder yet, but I am sure it will arrive in a few days. I just purchased a Bronica SQ-A off of eBay and can't get it to fire, with or without a battery (battery loaded is a Energizer A544, but I've also tried a second battery that I've confirmed works in my Pentax 67).
