Lens OverviewBronica 250mm f/5.6 Zenzanon MC

The Bronica ETRS 250mm f/5.6 Zenzanon MC is a prime telephoto lens built for the Bronica ETR medium format camera system. With a fixed focal length of 250mm and a maximum aperture of f/5.6, this lens delivers a narrow field of view well-suited to isolating subjects at a distance — a natural fit for portrait work, nature, and detail-focused shooting on medium format. Designed specifically for the Bronica ETR mount, it integrates directly into that system without adapters or compromises.

Focus is entirely manual, which suits the deliberate, methodical pace that medium format photography typically demands. The lens accepts 67mm filters, giving photographers a straightforward path to adding polarizers, ND filters, or other optical accessories. Weighing in at 800g, it carries the substantial but expected heft of a medium format telephoto prime.

Image stabilization is not featured, consistent with the manual, tripod-friendly workflow common to lenses of this type and era. For photographers already shooting the Bronica ETR system who want to extend their reach into telephoto territory, this 250mm prime offers a dedicated, system-native option worth serious consideration.

DescriptionBronica 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.
