Hello. I'm starting to shoot portraits on 645 medium format (Bronica ETRSi) now since I've been shooting street and lifestyle for a while. My first two rolls were Portra 400. The first roll I shot with natural light and the second one with flash. I'm Asian and my model is Asian too, she have typical Asian skin tone. And the photos came out super yellowish, some have green tint in it, they also seems overexposed, but I was very careful with the meter, my digital test shots were well lit. It's so hard for my to adjust in post. I searched for some articles on Goolge but nothing useful really. Can someone here help me on this topic? Because I will mostly shoot my friends and Asian customers. I thought Fuji Pro 400H maybe works better than Portra for Asian skin tone. I ordered some roll of Fuji but in the meantime waiting for the shipping, I hope can learn something in here, what background color I should use, camera setting, light setup, meter,...

Thanks Peter. Yes it’s been a while since last time I posted a question in a forum. Everything seems answered on YouTube already.

Oh I got it. Thank you for the explanation. Much appreciated! All I need is the cord now

Hi John. If that’s the case I have absolutely no idea to fix it. Maybe I should bring my camera to a camera shop for them to check. Thank you for sharing your tip. Appreciated it!

Thanks Joe for the advice. Yes I understand that I can only set up the flash manually. Because the Yongnuo flash and the wireless controller is the only flash system I have for my digital camera so I just want to make use of it with the Bronica also. I have a old Vivitar 252 and it works fine with the Bronica but it’s quite small and for on-camera flash purpose only. I know the hot shoe on the speed grip should fit others devices but I cannot slide the yongnuo flash or controller on that. I think the adapter should fix the problem but I ordered ir from taiwan and it wont get here until August

Thank you for the video. I found this but this guy’s solution is not quite what I’m looking for though

Hello. I'm a newbie in Medium Format so sorry if my question is dumb. Just bought my Bronica ETRSi with the Speed Grip and I want to shoot some portraits on this set up. My plan is to use the PC cord to connect my Yongnuo 622 wireless controller to the camera and use Yongnuo 560IV flash for it. But I tried to mount the 622N-TX controller to the hot shoe on the speed grip but it didn't fell in place because the sockets [i don't know if I called them right, but they are the small metal parts that's supposed to come in contact with the metal plate in the hot shoe to transfer the electric signals from the camera to the controller/flash] cannot slide into the hot shoe. I don't know if it's because my speed grip's hot shoe is too old so it's rigid to slide on or I need to buy a hot shoe adapter like in the pictures to attach on the speed grip's hot shoe and then attach the controller on top of it? Of course I will need a PC sync cord to connect to the lens. I'm not sure if this is a right set up or I'm just an idiot. Please give me some advice on this. I want to use the camera with off-camera flash for more control in lightning. Thank you!
