On one lense it has printed Leitz Elmar f=5cm 1:3.5, the other, Ernst Leitz Wetzlar, Elmar f=9cm 1:4 Nr.872529.

The man who serviced the camera was, supposedly, the best guy in the whole area. He did return it promptly, and I was told he said it was a nice camera, but I didn't get to speak to him directly. I will call over there about the flash connection. I'll try to get a manual too. Maybe someone out there has a reprint? > WHich model Bronica do you have? I have a Zenza Bronica-S, it was bought new in 1963 in the former British colony of Aden. Thanks for responding! I'm excited to get to know these cameras better! Jennifer
