jean_moxhet Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Recently I had the opportunity to have a Zenza-Bronica S2A with Nikkor 75 and 200mm lenses. Nice beast even if quite big and heavy. I'm interrested to buy a wide lens (40 or 50mm) and even after surfing all around the web, I still have 1 question. Do I need a specific focus ring for such lens or is working with the one I have (75-100mm model)? Thanks for any answers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john falkenstine Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 The Zenzanon 50mm should be interchangeable. However those lenses in good condition are still fetching serious prices. (Often as much or more than the camera body itself). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john_shriver Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 All the lenses from 40mm to 200mm use the standard focusing tube. It's only when you get to long lenses, or the bellows, that you remove the focusing tube. There's a 50mm f/3.5 Nikkor, and there is a 40mm f/4 Zenzanon, and apparently a 45mm f/4.5 Komura. Nikkor is definitely the easiest to find! Looks like the 40mm is the hardest to find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r.c._booth Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 I've been using a 50mm Nikkor in addition to the 75mm in the same mount on my Bronica C without problems. Both are great lenses. rcb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john_shriver Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 There is also a Super-Komura 50mm f/3.5 lens, one on eBay (170112432893) right now. Looks like it needs a diaphragm cleaning. If you have an affordable local repair person, that might wind up a good deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curtis_daily Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 I have the 45mm f/4.5 Super Komura. In case you see one for sale, you should know that they are really heavy, about 900gr. It does a good job and one of it's main attractions for me is that it will close focus to about 8". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
