<p>hi there<br /> Here iam again? I am wanting to upgrade my system to possibly a 6by7 medium format camera. At present i use Olympus and Contax 35 mm gear, which iam very happy with. I also use a Mamiya 330s tlr camera, which i am also quite happy with but would like something a little more modern with better lens quality. I have considered buying maybe a 645 camera, Mamiya 645 pro tl for example but thought why not go for the bigger negative, hence the interest in the <strong>Bronica GS1</strong> as it seems very reasonably priced with really good reviews, esp the lenses.</p>
<p>However my main concern is its weight, having said that reading on the internet somewhere that the <strong>Bronica</strong> <strong>GS1</strong> is not that much heavier than the <strong>Mamiya 330s</strong> which i don't find too bad. Sooo question, has anyone any knowledge of both these cameras and if so how would you compare them, especially the comparison on weight with the Bronica also having the handgrip and metered prism..</p>
<p>Oh also i have also some time ago again owned a <strong>Bronica SQi </strong> which i also found quite comfortable to use and hold, so any comparison with that would also give me some idea about the size of The GS1 with both having speedgrips and metered prisms attached. And also while iam here wondered if anyone has any ideas of how the GS1 lenses compared to the SQ1's lenses i.e. the latest versions, the PS lenses!</p>
<p>thanks again<br /> any advice much appreciated!<br /> <br />Nigel Sinkins</p>
