One of the reasons why I went with the SQ-Ai instead of the SQ-A is that it has bulb mode. This is a tricky one, and I only found out about it after reading the manual. 2.- Don't use bulb, use the T-mode of your lensĪnother battery-related tip. Just lock your shutter and you won't have this problem. Meaning: if you have your Bronica in your bag and the shutter gets accidentally depressed, it will be metering the whole time until you run out of batteries. This tip isn't about avoiding accidental black shots: the Bronica SQ-Ai won't shoot if the dark slide is inserted, so you don't have to to prevent these accidents.īut as you might know, the Bronica SQ-Ai supports metered prims finders and it will collect information from the lens and film back every time you press the shutter, passing it over to the prism if you are using one. Ok, maybe not after every shot, but at least when you put your camera away in your bag. Hoping they help someone, here they go in no particular order. I sat down and I thought about some tips I would've loved to know about when I started shooting it.

I brought it with me to the mountains, to the desert and to the shores of oceans and lakes all across the country (see my American Road Trip series on YouTube). I've been shooting quite a lot with my Bronica since I got it last year.
