Komura lens compatibility with Bronica SQ-Ai

[jesaroj]

I have been wanting a wide-angle lens for my Bronica SQ-Ai for a few

months, but they are out of my price range! While searching Ebay, I

found a 50mm "Super Komura for Bronica" lens. I have asked the seller

if it will work with my body, but it is through Adorama and it has

been my experience that they are not very likely to respond.

 

Does anyone here know whether the 2 are compatable? Should I call

Adorama and talk to someone in person?

 

I know the Komura would be one of the lower end lenses but as I stated

earlier I can't afford more and I'm willing to work with any

quirkiness of the lens - unless there are any explicit reasons why it

would be a bad purchase. The price I'd be paying is $79 plus $15

shipping. Thanks!

Call them up on the phone. I've been able to get answers that way vs a low response rate on email.

My guess is the Komura lens was made for the Bronica S or S2 series. There were Nikon lenses and 3rd party lenses made for that series, which predates the SQ series. They are not compatable with the SQ series. I own a SQa and have never seen any lens except for the Bronica that fits it.

 

Bronica lenses are much cheaper now than what I paid for some just 5 years ago. The 40S that cost $900 used 5 years ago now can had for $300-400. Bronicas are bargain priced right now.

Thanks guys - I think I'll keep searching for the right price on the Zenzanon lens.
