I stumbled onto the Bronica S2 system in 1995 while wandering around a local swap meet, and instantly fell in love with the system. They continued to produce high quality cameras until 2005 when the last model, the RF645 was discontinued and ended their 47 year run.
Bronica started designing and producing medium format cameras when it was founded 1958 by Zenzabur Yoshino in Tokyo, Japan.
