Smrsancho Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 I purchased this Zenza Brinica-TTL Exposure Meter but instructions are in another language and I can’t seem to find ANY info on this thing?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ufgrat Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Appears to be an add-on for the S2/S2A camera. Here's a video of one correctly(?) hooked up, but I don't think he demonstrates how to use it. This site 「Zenza BRONICA TTL Exposure meter」ブロニカＳ２用ＴＴＬメーターを付けてみた。 - 航海日誌=虚弱庵別館 documents using it, but the page is in Japanese... Browser translation produces something mostly usable.

Silent Street Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Language barriers aside, a bigger problem may be the accuracy of this meter. I have seen them from 35years ago and even when new they tended to suffer some drift and decay. Have it professionally tested and calibrated before committing it to serious use.

c_watson1 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Relist it and hope a crazed Bronica S series collector bites. Use the cash for a modern handheld meter. Done! Immediate problem, apart from sketchy accuracy--assuming it works at all--is the battery, which looks to be a mercury PX625. No longer available. Sure, there are hacks but is this really any more than a retro fashion statement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDMvW Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Some people have amazing luck with old meters. I am not one of them. When they work-- great, but in my experience they usually don't. I just got a Gossen Luna-Pro for when I really do need a meter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c_watson1 Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Closest thing I've seen to explaining its function. Looks to be a simple averaging reflective meter. Usual exposure adjustments through shutter and aperture: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
