How to Change Lens on a Bronica

Can anyone tell me how to change a lens on a bronica? as i have decided to try

and use a macro lens, but i can't untill i get the lense off, cheers, Dan

Don't know what model you have but if it's a ETRSi you will find a small black button on the lower right handside as you look at the camera front on. Press this button in and twist the lens in the oposite direction to the 2 matching red dots.....one dot on the lens...one dot of the camera body. Pretty much like you would with a lens on a 35mm.

Daniel,<p>

I don't mean to come across as obtuse,<br>

but you might try to Google the Bronica model you have.<p>

There are quite a few different models of Bronicas, and<br>

some of the sites do contain instructions on how to use them.<p>

If you have a model long since discontinued, you may<br>

find a copy of its manual

Good Luck & Cheers!<p>

Cheers for the help guys, I have solved the problem, a bit of brute force was needed

You should not have needed to use force. It means either that you weren't doing it quite right or that there is a problem with the body, lens or both. Does the other lens attach/detach more easily.

It is important that you cock the shutter before trying to remove the lens (at least this is how it worked on my SQAi, and I'd guess it is the same for the ERTSi and for the 6x7 model). Also, you must ensure both lens and camera shutters are cocked before attaching a lens.
