Bronica junk or treasure???

[sdphil]

Hope this is the right place for this
I have been given a Bronica 6x6 camera outfit to "use" possibly keep by a friend.
it takes 120 film, just got it yesterday
The outfit includes:
2 Bronica bodies
3 lenses
1 polaroid back
1 cable release
1 motor winder
2 lens hoods

Is this a great opportunity or not? my only experience with film is 35 mm
I looked at this thing last night and seems like a lot of work.

Check out the pics

Let me google that for you

What do you want for it? hehe

I think its probably just junk. If I was you, I would pack it all up and send it to someone as a joke, say, ME. Then it would be my problem. One I could live with

Maybe I was vague in my question
I was hoping for some photographic opinions
I am quite aware that this is expensive equipment
What I was wondering was why would I want to use this instead of my XSI is there something I would be getting in your opinion that is better or is this just great quality old tech?

If you have your own darkroom and film scanner then you may like to continue to shoot 120. I stopped using my Hasselblad 6x6 after getting the Canon D30.

I'd use it in conjunction with the digital, as I do with 35mm. Use them side by side, at the same time. You'll get totally different images from each, but thats the point.

Just make sure you can find a lab that will process 120 in either BW, C41 or slide.
