Very handy and makes the camera much easier to hand-hold. It uses a two-stroke wind lever and has a hot shoe.

One accessory I bought almost immediately for my ETRSi was a Speed Grip. I was in the market for an SQ-Ai when I ran across a stupid good deal on an ETRSi, so I went ahead and got it instead.

Has TTL metering with the dedicated module available separately and mirror up capabilities, if it's at all like my ETRSi. I thought the whole idea was to get a larger image, not smaller.Д¬ongratulations on your purchase of an SQ-Ai. That would seem to be a defeat of the purpose of using the medium format system. There is the GS-1 that is 6x7 and it can take that or others down to 6x4.5 or even 35mm film in a special holder. Lens coverage would indeed not be enough, especially on shorter focal length lenses. I understand they will take either Polaroid or the newer Fuji peel apart film.ДЄny experience with pack films or using 120 film in a 220 holder? I have my eye on a couple of Polaroid / Bronica film pack holders. This I got from the seller, who seemed to have used this camera for some time before selling it on ebay.ДЇuji now makes a 100 speed color film that would be interesting to try. There is not enough pressure for keeping the 220 film flat in a 120 holder as it had to have more clearance for the paper backing. One thing that was mentioned to me was that I can put 120 film in a 220 back but not vice-a-versa. With the SQ-Ai you 'can' put a drive on it that was made for it and it's in my watch list if I decide to spring for it.

Meter works well and camera is in decent shape. I bought a Bronica SQ-Ai with 150MM PS lens (which I was looking to add later anyway) a 220 back and a metered prism that come with it. It would make sense if you loose the gears, circuity, or whatever, you are dead in the water. I was also wondering about the motor drive on the SQ-AM.
