Description — Bronica 250mm f/5.6 Zenzanon MC
The Bronica ETRS 250mm f/5.6 Zenzanon MC is a prime telephoto lens built exclusively for the Bronica ETR mount system. With a fixed focal length of 250mm, it delivers a narrow, telephoto perspective on medium format, making it a natural choice for photographers who want to work at greater distances from their subjects within the Bronica ETR ecosystem. The maximum aperture of f/5.6 keeps the design clean and the optics focused on delivering consistent results across the frame.
Focus is fully manual, which pairs naturally with the thoughtful, considered workflow that medium format shooting typically encourages. A 67mm filter thread makes it easy to attach polarizers, neutral density filters, or other accessories. At 800g, the lens has the solid, purposeful feel of medium format glass, and photographers will want a dependable support system to go with it. No image stabilization is present, reinforcing the case for a tripod when shooting at this focal length.
