IInstant Return Automatic Mirror:
The reflex mirror of Bronica Model S 2 is an ex-
clusive and original mechanism. It is very
dif ferent from that of other single I ens ref I
ex
cameras. Usually mirrors move upward, but the
Bronica instant return automatic mirror moves
forward and down. After the exposure, it instantly
and automatically returns to viewing position.
Thus, it is possible to use wide-angle and large
caliber lenses, and a bright image remains on the
ground glass except while the shutter is in motion.
I INTERCHANGEABLE 'FI LM INDER ' BACK
This convenient feature offers many advantages.
It is possible to change film in the middle of a
roll (black-and-white to color,
color to black-and-white,
indoor to daylight,
etc.)
without the loss of a single
exposure. lt permits you to preload several backs and
shoot continuously without stopping for reloads.
The filminder back is fully automatic and foolproof
It is equipped with a metal dark slide to preventthe
film from being exposed whi
le the back is off the
camera. The back cannot be removed until the dark
slide is inserted and while the back is off the
camera,
the dark slide cannot be withdrawn.
When a filminder back i
s attached to the camea,
no attention need be paid as to whether the f ilm
or the shutter has been previously wound.
The film advance crank,which normally winds the
shutter and the film simultaneously, automatically
performs only the required function. For example. if
the shutter is wound and if the film in position has
been exposed, turning the crank will only advance
the film to a fresh unexposed section. Also, wnen
the back is on the camera. the dark slide must De
