The Fujifilm GX680 is no lightweight. And you can get a neck strap for it, too.

The GX680 makes an RB67 look small. Martin |

A downside for the Bronica is you only have a small selection of lenses made by the manufacturer. As far as I know no adapters are made to take other makers lenses.
If I am wrong anyone, please let us know.

Surely that's the same for most of the medium format cameras? They all have unique bayonet fittings. I can only think of Rollei that had lenses from different manufacturers for the SL66, 6000 and Hy6 - Zeiss and Schneider (and Leitz for macro lenses) - but they were generally for the same focal lengths. The SL66 could use an adapter that allowed large format lenses to be mounted but it wasn't an easy to use option.

Schneider, I think, made a couple of zooms for the SQ series, although I’ve never seen any of them in the flesh. They were 75-150 and 140-280mm. They are labelled as Zenzanon Variogon, suggesting that they are a Bronica product, but I’m sure Variogon is a Schneider lens description. Maybe a Schneider design produced by Zenza Bronica. I would be surprised if they are light and portable.

There is also a very rare 180mm lens as well. If you had all the lenses would you use them all regularly? Up until a few years ago I only ever used the 80 mm it suited the way I worked. then I started using the 150 mm and had trouble getting used to its narrower field of view and magnification.

I have the 50-100 which with a speed grip I thought might make a useful hand held set-up with my studio flash. Not as easy as I thought, especially with developing arthritis in my thumbs. It's never earned its keep unlike the rest of the outfit. There were zooms made for the ETRS series similarly by Schneider and then later a 45-90 by Tamron. |

Thank you to everyone for your awesome advice, much appreciated! 🤩 Jane Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |
