  • Its alright and has boxes, you think £300 is alright? Im just going off ebay selling prices as there isn't much out there now.

    As I said I'm no expert when it comes to Bronicas but I looked at eBay sold listings and other second hand sites, and see they're usually going for more. Like this one https://www.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de/s-anzeige/zenza-bronica-sq-a/903892822-245-1036

    300 for camera with that lens, two backs and grip is fine. If it all works fine.
    The question is are you willing to take the risk / are you trusting the guy.
    And do you really want to spend 300 on a heavy, bulky 6x6 system camera. Is this really what you want?
    Don't get me wrong, I love this kind of cameras, but it's just suitable for a small number of occasions, and it's heavy and expensive to shoot - prepare to burn a lot of money for film and dev / scan.

  • expensive to shoot - prepare to burn a lot of money for film and dev / scan

    I went through a period of shooting 6x6 medium format only. Shooting 4-5 rolls of B&W a week at £10 each for dev/scan, then another £30ish a week for another box of film. Wasn't sustainable in the long run for me anyway.

    Got some great photos out of that period though, mostly shot with a Zeiss folder. For a camera that costs next to nothing to pick up it produces great sharp images.
