The Bronica EC is a 6x6 SLR camera manufactured by Bronica and was released in 1972. It replaced the Bronica S2A in the line up.
It is called EC because it has an electronically controlled focal plane shutter. The mirror design was also changed to a split design. It is compatible with the lenses from the previous models S2A, S, etc. The film back and viewfinder system has been changed and are not compatible with the previous models. The film back now has a handy pocket to store the dark slide. The view finder now supports interchangeable magnifiers along with four different focusing screens. Two different sized tripod mounts are available on the base of the camera in both 1/4 inch and 3/8 inch diameters.
A variation known as the Bronica EC-TL adds a TTL exposure meter. This is the last focal plane 6×6 SLR manufactured by Bronica. The Bronica SQ series of 6×6 leaf shutter cameras replaced it in 1980.
