The BEAST Bronica ETRS 645 Medium Format 120 Film Camera

Since buying my Bronica ETR 645 medium format camera back in early 2023 and really enjoying it, I wanted to do some hand held work with it but without a light meter built into the camera viewfinder. I didn't want to guess my exposures since film isn't cheap and I only get 14 frames per roll. I have been eying up a view finder for the camera which has the light meter, each time I have looked it is either no longer working or really expensive. Parts for these cameras are no longer made so your only option is to buy used. I didn’t plan on buying another camera as I was only looking at view finders but this turned out to be the best option for me, I needed another back anyway since my main one packed up shortly before leaving Australia.
