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.

..ah ok then you know what awaits you.
: ]You know if I had a Hasselblad I would probably put up with hauling around a 6x6 medium format camera - even though it's a hassle, even though I can only do that much with it - because I love how they feel / handle etc.
I don't have one, so I'm very glad I have a Rollei that allows me to shoot that kind of photos with a much lighter package.
Also people love the thing which is a huge plus - wouldn't have thought, but literally everybody is like "aaaawwwww"..Out of curiosity - why a Bronica / why a SLR type medium format system camera?

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.
