jack_lam1 Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 I just bought a Bronica SQ-A from ebay and it came without a crank. Do you know where can I find one? Do you happen to have one that you can part with? Can I use the crank for SQ-Ai on my SQ-A? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
User_502260 Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 I would contact Tamron. They will probably still have this part. If you can't find a crank right away you could get a Speed Grip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_henderson Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 Don't think you can use the SQ-Ai crank on the SQ-A. Cranks don't come up often on eBay. Two thoughts;- First as the previous poster suggested get a Speedgrip. Not too expensive, fairly available, and a really useful improvement to handling. Second buy another body with a crank; decide which one's best and keep it. Re-sell the other. Incidentally the crank is not an accessory, its part of the body, which is why there aren't many spare ones around. Even those with Speedgrips keep their cranks in case they want to sell a body or the grip, or the Speedgrip breaks. If the seller didn't make it clear that there was no crank you have been deceived and are in theory entitled to return the goods for refund. If the seller did make it clear, well----.

jack_lam1 Posted February 13, 2007 Author Share Posted February 13, 2007 In fact my camera comes with a speed grip, but the seller didn't specify that the crank isn't included. Not sure if that still make her a deceiving seller. I want the crank coz sometimes I want to go light and just go out shooting with the crank and a waist-level finder. Anyone happen to have a crank to part with? (especially those who never shoot without the grip) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_thomas8 Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 I don't see one listed on the website, but if you're in the US, you might call KEH and ask. They also show a "BGN" condition SQ-A body with "chipped shutter speed dial" for $37. It's a little unclear whether it has a crank, usually they say if it doesn't. Could be worth a contact.
