Bronica ETR telephoto lens providing 200mm equiv on 645 format with leaf shutter.
The Bronica Zenzanon-PE 250mm f/5.6 is a telephoto lens for the Bronica ETR 6x4.5 medium format system, providing approximately a 200mm equivalent perspective. The 250mm reaches into serious telephoto territory for medium format, enabling wildlife and sports photography with the detail and tonal richness of the 645 format.
Optical quality is good with the Zenzanon multi-coating delivering clean, contrasty images at telephoto distances. The f/5.6 aperture is adequate for daylight telephoto work. A built-in leaf shutter provides flash synchronisation at all speeds, useful for location portrait and event photography with flash.
Build quality follows Bronica's professional standards with solid metal construction and the bayonet mount specific to the ETR system. The lens is substantial but handles well on ETR bodies. The focus ring provides smooth operation essential for precise manual focusing at telephoto distances.
On the used market, the Zenzanon-PE 250mm f/5.6 offers affordable medium format telephoto reach. For Bronica ETR users wanting long telephoto capability with the 645 format's detail advantages, it provides functional reach at prices that make medium format telephoto photography genuinely accessible.
