Embracing the Art of Film Photography with My New Digital Back for Bronica SQ

As a photographer who's passionate about film, I've recently made the transition to shooting with a digital back for my Bronica SQ. This decision wasn't taken lightly; in fact, it was the culmination of weeks of research and deliberation. But what prompted me to take the plunge? For one, I believe that shooting film allows me to connect more intimately with my photos. The process of developing and scanning my own film gives me a sense of pride and ownership over my work.

My decision to use a digital back for my Bronica SQ was also driven by the desire to shoot in a square format. I've been cropping all my photos to a square aspect ratio for months now, and it's become an integral part of my aesthetic. But finding a modern camera with a square sensor proved to be a challenge – Hasselblad and Phase One cameras were out of my budget, so I had to settle for cropping my shots.

The Bronica SQ-Ai was the perfect solution. Not only does it allow me to shoot in a square format, but its digital back also provides me with the flexibility to preview my shots before taking them. This is particularly important when working with a camera that doesn't have live view or a mirrorless system. Composing my shot becomes much easier, and I can focus on capturing the perfect image.

In addition to these benefits, I was drawn to the Bronica SQ-Ai because of its unique design and heritage. The Bronica SQ is a legendary camera known for its ruggedness and ability to produce high-quality images. By using a digital back with this camera, I'm able to combine traditional film photography techniques with modern convenience.

Overall, my decision to use a digital back for my Bronica SQ has been a game-changer. It's allowed me to tap into my creative potential and produce images that are truly unique and personal. Whether you're a seasoned photographer or just starting out, I highly recommend exploring the world of film photography – it may just become your new favorite hobby.
