Description — Bronica 75mm f/2.8 Zenzanon EII
The Bronica ETRS 75mm f/2.8 Zenzanon EII is a prime lens built natively for the Bronica ETR mount system. Operating in the standard focal length range for medium format, the 75mm focal length paired with an f/2.8 maximum aperture gives photographers flexibility across a range of lighting conditions and subjects. Focus is entirely manual, putting full creative control in the shooter's hands — a characteristic many medium format photographers appreciate for its deliberate, considered approach to image-making.
The 62mm filter thread makes it easy to attach widely available photographic filters, while the 400g weight keeps the overall kit manageable without feeling insubstantial. There is no image stabilization, so a stable shooting platform is recommended for the sharpest results. This lens is exclusively compatible with the Bronica ETR camera system, making it a natural choice for photographers already working within that ecosystem.
