<p>It was a photo you somehow included with your message to me. Looked like a Teton but not the right color</p>

<p>Hi David,</p> <p>Not sure if you saw this last post I submitted that indeed it was operator error on my part. I thank you for your inputs which should also help others. Below I pasted my submittal. Also nice photo you posted! Where is that?:</p> <p>Hi All,<br> Again thanks for all your ideas and inputs. Man do I feel foolish!! I took the camera to a friend of mine who has been repairing cameras for over 40 years and has done 1000s of Bronica Zenza cameras! He was at lunch and I left it on his bench. When I came back he said. "camera is fine, works perfectly!" I feel like a fool. Evidently when I set it on a speed such as 8 seconds, I was waiting to hear a shutter slap or mirror slap after the 8 seconds. What was happening, was when I set it for the time (for example) of 8s, and trip the shutter release, I would hear a slap but never realized that was the mirror moving out of the way and that the lens "leaf" diaphragm was open and then closed after 8 seconds or whatever time I set it for. He showed me how by looking at the shutter/leaf itself. Sorry for all you guys trouble and really appreciate the comments and suggestions. Funny as I had tried all of them prior to writing on the forum. Little did I know how quiet the lens shutter operation is. Again, thanks.<br />Joel</p>

Thanks again CW. Did the cleaning and swapped lenses. I hope I am doing something wrong, but will take it in for a look. David, thanks as well for taking time to write your response. I will reply again once I find out anything. Joel

Thanks CW, I have read it cover to cover. No matter what I do, I never get for example when I try, 8 seconds or anything other than what is a set speed. Yes first time Bronica user. I will check with a local guy I know this week and let you know what I find out. Appreciate your help and patience. Joel

Hi folks I guess I am a bit confused. When I set the speed dial for 8s as an example (which I assume is 8 seconds), the shutter seems to fire at only one speed, not 8 seconds. The light is lit on battery check ( battery has 6.3 volts), I have tried both A and T modes. Is T modes oppose to hold open the shutter or used when setting speed to 8s for example? Thanks Joel

BTW I IT IS AN ETRS NOT ETRA

Thanks CW and JA. I will try cleaning. The battery is showing 6.3 volts using a precision voltmeter. Regarding the T, the manual states slide the lever so the red T is showing thus covering up the A Joel

<p>Hi,</p> <p>I have a Bronica Zenza ETRS. No matter what I do, the shutter sped will not change. It has a brand new battery, there is film in the camera, the lever on the lens is showing the RED T and I have tried it using multiple and single exposure. Any help would be greatly appreciated<br> Thanks,<br> Joel</p>
