<p>Finally tested my new etr with the 150mm.</p> <div></div>

<p>Once again, thank you to all of you.<br> I've now bought a 75mm pe and both a 150mm f/3.5 mc and 135mm pe. I thought at the price the two longer lenses were I could get both and try them and decide for myself and then sell the one I favour least. Once I've run film through the etr I'll come back with examples as it might help others in the future.<br> One last question... I'm not sure if the body comes with a battery. What batteries does the etr take? Any links would be most grateful.</p>

<p>It seems a lot of you are recommending the 150mm f/3.5 but I was wondering about the 135mm f/4. I know its a half stop (approx) slower, but its minimum focusing distance is .5 of metre closer. Which I think should enable tighter portraits? Anyone have any thoughts?.</p>

<p>Thank you for all the replies. It's given me a good idea of the lenses I should get as well as some food for thought.</p>

<p>Hi all,<br> I have a few questions on lenses for the Bronica. I recently bought an etr (my first medium format camera) off an auction site. It comes with the body (obviously), wlf, a film back (and I purchased a second one too) and a speed grip. No lenses though. Which doesn't bother me, as it means I will only end up with the exact lenses I want. By that I mean say a pe version over a mc version if that happens to be the better one of a particular focal length. <br> So my first question is... other than coatings is there any optical difference between a mc, eii and a pe lens? I want to get a 75mm and would like to which is the best version (flare control, contrast etc,etc).<br> I'm love to do portraits. So am looking for a decent portrait lens. I guess you'll need to know the type of portraits I do, so here's some examples:<br> <img src="/bboard/www.flickr.com/photos/nkaemena/14710614429/in/album-72157638220234315/" alt="" /><br> <img src="/bboard/www.flickr.com/photos/nkaemena/14973484828/in/album-72157638220234315/" alt="" /><br> <img src="/bboard/www.flickr.com/photos/nkaemena/14921538938/in/album-72157638220234315/" alt="" /><br> I'm not sure if they will appear, so just in case I'll link the photos from my flickr a/c<br> www.flickr.com/photos/nkaemena/14710614429/in/album-72157638220234315/<br> www.flickr.com/photos/nkaemena/14973484828/in/album-72157638220234315/<br> www.flickr.com/photos/nkaemena/14921538938/in/album-72157638220234315/</p> <p>Lastly, are there any other lenses worth keeping and eye out for. Like a particularly good wide. Are the pe zooms any good?</p> <p>Thank you in advance for any responses.</p>
