Congratulations on your choice of the Zenza Bronica ETRS single lens reflex camera, which
will offer you high quality performance, handling convenience and versatility required for
professional photography. The Zenza Bronica ETRS has been developed as a "system" cam-
era, with a very high degree of interchangeability. The Zenza Bronica ETRS is backed up by a
full range of valuable accessories, which permit use in many other day-to-day assignments,
which require a fast-handling camera with complete exposure automation.
Although instructions described in this booklet are based on a standard combination con-
sisting of the ETRS main camera body with standard Zenzanon-EII 75mm lens, Film Back
ETRS 120 and Waist-level finder E, these lenses, film back and finder are left to your discre-
tion to select such items best suited for your picture taking.To get best results from your
camera, we suggest that you read this instruction manual carefully, before you even touch
the camera.
