Hello,
I have been using Bronica cameras since 2008, mostly the first series : C/S2/S2A/EC-TL with approx. all available Nikkor/Zenzanon lenses.
Overall, I think it is a great tool to photograph people.
So I will post some (self)portraits on this thread.
I hope you will enjoy and let some words, thoughts, likes.
#1 - Zenzanon MC 80/2.8 by Carl Zeiss Jena - TX and R09
#2 - same lens - TX and Xtol
#3 - same lens - TX and R09

2nd pic is great, love the angle, the eyes and the lighting. Only change I would make would be to have the model slightly over to the right in the frame.
And I like the rich blacks in the 3rd shot. I'm surprised the first shot didnt break the camera.

Lovely photos with nice tones and ultra sharp. Which scanner did you use?

I was teasing about the subject matter assuming it was a selfie.
This portrait that you just attached is lovely too. The emphasis on the eyes looking up, for some reason reminds me of Marillon Cotillard.

Oh I see. Ha ha.
No it is not a self-portrait, but I will post some.
Nadia would probably appreciate your words. She has been recording some scenes in the next movie by Luc Besson.
Thank you, merci. The good old Epson V500. Nothing fantastic, ha ha.

The Nikkor-P 75/2.8 is a gem, and one of the best bargains in medium format optics.
I just wrote a blog post about my Bronica S2.

It is a very good standard lens, I agree... but it is really nothing compared to the Carl Zeiss Jena 80/2.8.
