MONOCHROME EDITIONS

The Bronica S2A is a classic piece of equipment, it allows the photographer to capture the world in a way that is both true to ones artistic vision and emotionally resonant. The medium format film size gives an unparalleled level of detail and resolution, with images that are rich in tone and texture. Its modular design allows for easy swapping of lenses, viewfinders and film backs and the mechanical design, durable construction and manual controls offers a superior level of reliability and longevity. Ours was purchased new in 1976

One of the most satisfying aspects of using the Bronica is the  sound of the shutter with its distinct and satisfying "clunk" noise signalling the capture of the image. This mechanical sound serves as a tangible reminder of the photograph being taken and the physical process of capturing the moment. Vastly different from  modern digital cameras the sound of the shutter serves as a reminder that photography is not just about capturing an image, but also being an active participant in the process of image creation.
