PERSONAL NOTES

I did not encountered a lot of Bronica cameras, but every single time I did, they needed some kind of repair. I had one for a few months, I exposed a few rolls and boom! Repairs needed.

The ETRS is an "in between"... I would prefer to shoot with any 6x6 for a bigger image, like the Hasselblad 500, it's about the same weight and feel anyway. If weight is an issue, I would shoot with a 35mm. 645 in general was not too popular back in the days because of that.

CONCLUSION

In the medium format world, the 645 format is small, and not necessarely lighter. If you want to get into medium format photography, I would suggest you get something bigger in format, somewhere between 6x6 and 6x9.
