Bronica 30mm f/3.5 Fisheye Zenzanon-PE Lens for ETR System Review

The Bronica 30mm f/3.5 Fisheye Zenzanon-PE is a full-frame fisheye lens designed for the ETR medium format system, offering a dramatic 180-degree diagonal field of view. Built with broad-band anti-reflective coating to minimize flare and chromatic aberration, it covers an aperture range of f/3.5 to f/22 with half-stop detents and includes a built-in flower-shaped lens hood. The lens uses a 32.5mm screw-in filter size and integrates a Seiko #0 electronic shutter with time and bulb modes.

This lens sits in a niche category, serving photographers who shoot medium format Bronica ETR systems and want the extreme perspective distortion that only a fisheye can deliver. It's built for landscape, commercial, portrait, and wedding work where creative wide-angle effects are desired. At this price point, it represents a specialized tool for a legacy medium format platform, best suited to those already invested in the ETR ecosystem and looking to expand their creative toolkit with an ultra-wide option.
