Improve Your Medium Format Photography With Bronica SQ Cameras
Medium format photography was a photography format commonly used in the 1940s and 1950s. Despite its age, medium format photography produces high-quality images that have found specialised niche uses in specific industries, such as fashion and studio photography. eBay offers a variety of medium format cameras, such as the Bronica SQ camera in various models and affordable prices.
Where would you use medium format photography?Medium format cameras are not easy to carry around due to their bulk and weight, but photographers carry them because of the high-quality images that medium format cameras can produce. The large internal sensor enclosed in the camera body is capable of producing images that can be enlarged up to 182 cm by 182 cm without any reduction of quality. Here are a few areas where medium format cameras are still in use:
- Studio photography
- Still life photography
- Fashion photography
- Landscape photography
- Wildlife photography
The Bronica SQ cameras developed between the 1980s and 1990s belong to a modular camera series that capture images in 6x6 square medium format films. The following are the camera models in the SQ series:
- Bronica SQ – The Bronica SQ camera is the original camera in Bronica’s 6x6 medium format SLR camera system. It came after Bronica’s 6x4.5 film format series.
- Bronica SQ-A – The Bronica SQ-A camera improved the viewfinder of the older SQ camera and the locking mechanism.
- Bronica SQ-Am – The Bronica SQ-Am camera improved the film-advance function of the SQ-A camera.
- Bronica SQ-Ai – The Bronica SQ-Ai camera modified the film back of the SQ-Am camera to relocate some of the back buttons to improve usability.
- Bronica SQ-B – The Bronica SQ-B was designed for the use of studio photographers who use their own light meters, flash equipment, and other accessories. Many of these functions were removed from the SQ-B camera to allow professional photographers to use their own preferred accessories.
One of the biggest attractions of the Bronica medium format cameras is that their SLR film cameras are designed to be modular from the very beginning of their series. This means that all the major components of the camera are interchangeable and can be swapped in or out depending on the needs of the photographer, making the Bronica SQ camera one of the most versatile medium format camera series. The following components of Bronica SQ SLR cameras are interchangeable:

- Camera lens
- Camera body
- Film back
- Viewfinder
