The two new zooms for the Bronica ETRSi are Tamron produced. That is
all the influence, at least in the 6x4.5 line.
The 135mm for the rangefinder Bronica will not be released. The cam
mechanism is too difficult to machine properly, so production has crased
and they are trying to bring out a 100mm replacement.
