Product Overview
Employing extremely
advanced electronics technology and decades of accumulated experience,
Bronica's engineers combined the functions of a large studio camera with the
portability of a 35mm camera. The result - Bronica's GS-1. Sophisticated enough
for the studio. Convenient enough for the field. The GS-1's main body is
designed to be as simple as possible. The lens, viewfinder, film back and other
accessories work together with the body to make an integrated unit of great
versatility. The GS-1 is the first medium format camera that automatically
adjusts the flash by directly metering light through the lens off the film
plane. It features Bronica's unique electronically controlled Seiko lens
shutter, and a flash that is adjustable for all speeds up to 1/500 second. The
GS-1's tough body weighs only 1,830 grams, including all the standard
attachments, so it's great on location. This unprecedented portability,
combined with state-of-the-art functions that meet the demanding needs of
professionals, make the GS-1 the ultimate medium format single lens reflex
camera.
