this is easily rectified by taking the camera to your local tech and having it replaced. over the years, the foam on which the screen is mounted may degrade. the other caveat, if your camera seems not to focus correctly, is making sure the focusing screen is correctly mounted in the camera. leaving it out of the camera will decrease the problem of eventual light leaks which will occur with any interchangeable back 6ењ† cameras. also, the dark slide should only be used wwhen changing film backs. third party dark slides are often problematic. with regard to them, be sure your camera has the correct dark slide. the film backs are excellent and space the exposures correctly. i've used it by the Connecticut shoreline at night for very long (1 hour) exposures driving the ektachrome transparency film into reciprocity and the results, while unpredictable, turned out to be marvelous. this combination is a real winner and can produce great black and white and colour transparencies. With the 75mm s.8 bronica nikkor, i've had some marvelous results. a little more friendly than the hasselblad bodies. but.the bronica, of which i've owned a fair number has a certain 'feel' to it. i primarily used hasselblad cameras and lenses for my 6ењ† work. it allows for significantly closer focusing distance. when acquiring the 200mm bronica nikkor lens be sure it comes with it's close up filter, as this was originally included with the lens. one nikkor lens i'd avoid is the 135mm lens, as these were mediocre and the weakest of the nbronica nikkor lens line. as such these are great cameras with a choice of nikkor, zenzanon and komura lenses available for very modest prices, on the secondary market. So now, what i have is actually an S2a body with the rather modest, yet wonderful 75mm f2.8 bronica nikkor lens. so, this is the 'improved' body with the steel wind gears.

the camera bodies, initially were labeled S2a prior to the serial number on the back of the camera.Д«ronica ceased doing this and merely went ahead and continued this improvement with the camera bodies with serial numbers above 15,xxx. Bronica then refined the camera and designated it as an S2a with steel gears replacing the brass. the original Bronica S2 had terrible shutter/film wind problems and subject to jamming due to the brass gears used in the camera's wind mechanism.
