>>4309302>How can you care about photography when you are not a hipster who wears pentax k1000s as jewelery and nerds out over hasselblads?Bronicas are quintessential to the aesthetic of Real Photography. It is a "the camera" camera, not a "my camera" camera. To have a bronica on a tripod is to say "i am a photographer" not "i like cameras". It's a more thoughtful and refined presence simply because it is unrefined like a speckled metal tool - the lack of mechanical refinement belies a higher degree of refinement than someone obsessed with broaches and baubles. The humble brush, the simple charcoals, sitting among luxurious fountain pens and soulless bics, an item for art first rather than idle doodles and superficiality.
The bronica user of today, and the bronica user is always of today, doesn't even wear a watch! They check their phone for the time.
