Bronica SQ lenses on Nikon DSLR

[leonard_forte2]

<p>Has anyone used Bronica SQ lenses on a nikon DSLR using an adaptor which is currently available on ebay for about 68$? I have four Bronica lenses (50mm, 80mm, 150mm and 180mm) and I was wondering how they perform on a Nikon DSLR. These lenses are not worth much and I think difficult to sell so I may as well see if I can use them. </p>

<p>Not worth much? A 180 in LN- condition is for sale right now at KEH for $819! That lens is very popular and desired by lots of people because it is excellent optically, and great for portraits because of its focal length and close focusing of one meter.</p>

<p>How much the others are worth depends on which series they were- S or PS- and their condition. There might be more money there than you think!</p>

<p>They are not difficult to sell- just list them here or on another forum and for the right price they will go quickly. BUG (Bronica Owners Group) is a good place to offer them if they don't sell here. APUG (Analog Photography Users Group) is another.</p>

I, not too long ago, listed my whole Bronica SQAi outfit with the lenses for 1100 and had no success. I will try listing

again.

<p>I'm sure they would be optically fine on the Nikon, but you'd lose metering and the auto diaphragm with the Bronica lens, making it rather inconvenient to use. I considered getting a 120 lens adapter for my Nikon but, since all my 120 lenses overlap what I already have for the Nikon, decided it wasn't worth pursuing. </p>

<p>Leonard, you are always more likely to sell an outfit in parts rather than as an all-or-nothing unit. You should especially list lenses individually. You may even get a higher return this way.</p>

<p>I have such an adapter. Mostly I use it to adapt the bronica lens further (a second adapter!) the combo onto a Sony NEX (via a Lensbaby tilt adapter), perhaps adding extension tubes.<br>

The 80mm and the 150mm work very well on Sony NEX...<br>
