Also read regarding the toolsВ that you will need in order to fix your Nikkors. If this is the first attempt at opening a lens then I suggest that you read my previous posts regarding screws &В drivers, greaseВ and other things. This has problems of its own because itвЂ™s much more complicated and the light from the top can affect your exposure because there is nothing covering the top, the mirror on conventional SLRs movements flips up and acts like a cover of some sort.В WeвЂ™ll talk more about the Bronica system in another article and for now, letвЂ™s begin with tear-down because this is what you are here for anyway! Before We Begin: The Bronica S2/S2a system is very compact due to the mirror which flips down and slides forward to avoid the lens as opposed to the usual movement of mirrors on SLR cameras which flips up. Calling it the вЂњpoormanвЂ™s HasselbladвЂќ is just wrong. I really love the Bronica system and I believe it is one of the best out there. ThereвЂ™s even a bellows unit made specially for the Bronica which allows you to take very technical photos very much like what a HorsemanВ large format camera system is capable of. This three-part system makes the Bronica S2/S2a very customizable because it can accept a wide range of accessories and lenses. This is basically just an objectiveВ with an iris mechanism. You will need this for lenses with no focusing unit.

Here are the separate parts for the Bronica S2aвЂ™s front-end:

I would like to think that this is a transitionary model for Bronica, very much like what the Nikon F4 is for the Nikon F-mount system of cameras wherein it can use lenses from different generations of F-mount Nikkors with full or partial support. With this system, the Bronica S2/S2a will accept both paradigms. Later Bronica-fit lenses have helicoids on the lenses and the helicoids arenвЂ™t needed. The Bronica S2/S2a system uses a removable helicoid for focusing because earlier models have the helicoids built-in to the body (eg: Bronica Deluxe) so the lenses donвЂ™t come with any focusing units. I donвЂ™t see any good references for this so I decide to make one. The grease on the helicoid will sometimes get gummed-up and this is going to be our subject for this article. Earlier Bronica-fit lenses donвЂ™t have any focusing units so you will need a separate helicoid to do that for you. If you think that the lens comes with its own focusing unit then you are wrong. My Bronica S2a looks really compact because the Nikkor-P 75mm f/2.8 lens is small.

There are people whoвЂ™ll claim that there are no provisions for adjusting the focus on this thing but this article is going to show you how to do it and dispel this myth. This is a rare topic and this should show you how this thing really works. Today, we wil be covering a rare topic, the overhauling of the BronicaвЂ™s special helicoid! I didnвЂ™t find any good references online so I hope that this will help you fix yours. In our lives we will encounter many such odd-combnations that work so well and today, we will talk about an odd combination that worked really well вЂ“ Bronica and Nikon! Introduction: While this may seem to be an odd combo, it tasted very well because the spiciness compliment the sweetness of the cheese very well. Hello, everybody! My stomach wasnвЂ™t feeling very good this afternoon, I ate some cheese risotto with some very spicy chorizo slices.
