Bronica 75mm f/2.8 Zenzanon EII Lens for ETR System {62}

Bronica's 75mm f/2.8 standard prime for the ETR system.

The Zenzanon EII 75mm f/2.8 is the native standard focal length for Bronica's ETR 645 system, sitting at the angle of view most shooters reach for first when working in medium format. At f/2.8, it gives you enough light-gathering to work in less-than-ideal conditions without pushing into the razor-thin depth of field that longer, faster glass produces. The 62mm filter thread is a common size, so ring adapters and a basic filter kit won't be a headache.

For anyone already invested in the ETR system, this is the lens that lives on the camera. It covers the full range of what medium format does well: separation at moderate apertures, smooth transitions from in-focus to out, and the rendering character that draws shooters away from 35mm in the first place. The ETR system's film backs and native mount ecosystem are what you're buying into, and the 75mm EII is where most serious work in that system begins.

Who It's For

Portrait photographers working with the ETR system will find the 75mm a natural fit for environmental and studio sessions, where f/2.8 delivers subject separation without compressing space the way a longer lens would. Film photographers building a medium format kit around the ETR body get the most logical starting point in this focal length. Documentary and travel shooters drawn to 645 format for its film economy will appreciate a standard prime that keeps the kit light. Anyone transitioning from 35mm who wants a familiar angle of view in a medium format native lens will feel at home here.
