After normal and satisfactory blank tests of the camera, this is the test film of the camera Zenza Bronica S2A (Japan, 1972-1977)
The Nikkor normal lens 1:2.8 f=75mm was equipped of a Hoya HMC (coated) 67mm screwed filter and the generic foldable rubber hood.
I used a Rollei RPX 100 12-exposure negative 120-format film. The film is based on the formula of former Agfa APX100. Though made in UK, it has however nothing related to Kentmere Pan 100. The developing times are rather differents. Rollei RPX 100 is a regular panchromatic film coated on a traditional cellulose tri-acetate base. It was exposed for 100 ISO using an Autometer III Minolta lightmeter fitted with a 10° finder for selective measurements privileging the shadow areas.

After the view #12 exposed, the film was fully rolled to the taking spool and was developed in a Paterson tank with a spiral adapted to the 70mm large film. 500 mL of Adox Adonal (Agfa Rodinal) developer were prepared at the dilution 1+25 and the film processed for 9min at 20°C.
Digitizing was made using a Sony A7 camera (ILCE-7, 24MP) held on a Minolta vertical macro stative device and adapted to a Minolta MD Macro lens 1:3.5 f=50mm. The light source was a LED panel (approx. 4x5') CineStill Cine-lite fitted with film holder "Lobster" to maintain flat the 70mm films.
The RAW files obtained were inverted within LR and edited to the final jpeg pictures without intermediate file. They are presented either as printed files with frame or the full size JPEG.
All views of the film are presented in the dedicated album either in the printed framed versions and unframed full-size jpeg accompanied by some documentary smartphone Vivo Y76 color pictures.
Results : As for all original Bronica's S2A, the viewer is a bit out of focus at infinite. The distance scale of the lens holding helicoid is however exact. This problem originates from aged adjusting foams either underneath the frame of the screen and/or underneath the reflex mirror. The problem can be fixed by replacing the shimming foams by new ones as described by several Bronica users. Using my LASER meter to measure exactly the distances the focused planes and the film plane could be helpful while waiting.
The weight of the camera is not so uncomfortable especially when the camera is hold on the chest by the neck strap. I dis not feel tied after this photo tour (about 3km walking).
The negatives obtained are well spaced, no light leaks were noticed and the contrast of the negative views are impressive, traducing a very good conservation of the 50-year old Nikkor lens.
About the camera :
The Zenza Bronica’s S (ゼンザブロニカ) were often referred to the « Japanese Hasselblad ». Conceived in the year 50’s (Bronica D, 1959) was manufactured in ToKy,o Itabashi-ku, Minami-Tokiwadai with the Japan engineering spirit of that time : « we wlll do as … in better! »; The Bronica (ETR, SQ series) camera’s were progressively discontinued twenty years ago between 2002 and 20O4 and the brand was bought by Tampon company and disappeared from the market.
The Zenza Bronica S2A was produced by Bronica Insdutries founded by Yoshino Zenzaburo, between 1972 and 1977 and was the ultimate model of fully mechanical medium format modular SLR o th e S series. The camera in made in stainless steel 18-8 quality for the outer elements. The S2A is still a focal-plane shutter camera with automatic diaphragm and automatic film back coupled to the shutter cocking through a re-arming crank. Bronica were equipped either with Nikon Nikkor lenses, Zenzanon of Komura optics.
I got this exemplary from a French eBay auction for a quite reasonable price, equipped with a Nikkor-P normal lens 1:2.8 f=75mm, a generic 67mm lens cap, and a neck/shoulder Bronica strap. I found at my monthly trade -exchange photo meeting new-old stock 67mm filters (Hoya HMC anti-UV, Yellow K2, and a Zenzza Bronica Skylight 1A) and two shade shade hoods (one generic foldable and a rigid metal Zenza Bronica Japan). I also found a nice storage box 15x20x20cm to store the machine with silica-gel protectant.
The camera fit in my ThinkTank Retrospective 5 usual bag as easily as my TLR Semflex. The weight is however higher by about 1;8 kg (0.8 kg for my Semflex TLR).
Nothing quite like taking a nap on freshly laundered and folded towels.

Space Folding transforms live flight data into an immersive light installation through a series of custom built software applications using Distributed Display Protocol (DDP) to control individually addressable array of addressable LED light pixles.
The work encourages the audience to imaginatively engage in teleportation. There is a sense of going to a new place, and yet it is the same place. Space Folding achieves this by bringing the aesthetic of the United Arab Emirates and combining it with international air space data to visualise the interconnected nature of cultural dynamics.

These bikes are really cool. They are kind of weird looking when unfolded, but the basic concept of having a bike that takes up much less space, plus can be carried around is really cool. As i said the bike looks a bit weird when unfolded, but thats pretty much up to the consumer to consider beautiful. I always wonder just how useful having a bike that folds up is.
