Medium Format no longer has a place in my house đ I bought my Bronica system about a year ago as a âlearning systemâ I wanted a system that would force me to slow down and think about what I was doing when taking a photograph and as my ETRSi was completely manual and had no integrated metering it really did the trick. I went from 100 shots an hour on my digital system to as little as 6 per hour! Handheld metering was great fun and made me look at the whole process of taking a photograph in a different way – spot vs reflected vs incident – what to do 
After a while though I came to two conclusions 1) It had served itâs learning purpose and 2) whilst a 6×45 negative was nice it wasnât a big enough a step away from 35mm for me. If I get back into a larger than 35mm format in the future I think itâll be 6×7, 6×9 or even large format 5×4. I want to blown away when looking at a velvia trannie on a light-box and 6×45 just wasnât doing it……..
So whatâs happened to the Bronnie? itâs been traded in on my first Canon âLâ series lens, a 70-200mm F4 and a 1.4x Teleconverter. I pick them up on Saturday and might even get some time to do some test shots over the weekend 
I had a couple of rolls of film leftover and have sent them to Lor to use in her Holga Have fun Lor!
