Hi, I'm new here. I recently purchased a Bronica ETRS off of KEH.com. When It came to my door step today I was very excited to get shooting with my 'new' camera. I put the camera all together and noticed that instead of the 120 back that was advertised they sent me a 220 back. Ok not a big deal...I thought. I noticed that it was a back for an ETR, This also from what I have been reading is not a big deal. I found a guide for the ETR and skimmed to the opening of the back. I found the back release lever and it told me to push it forward and the back would open. Well it will not open and I'm confused now on why not. I was curious to know if anyone has had this problem or know a way to fix it. Thanks!

Call KEH and they will take care of the problem and send you a 120 back... it's that simple and they are great about it.

The locks are a 2 step process. One latch has to be flicked to the side as you push the tab to unlock it. THere is also a 2 latch type that has to be pushed together.

thank you so much! I feel a little dumb. I kept playing with both the push tab and latch but didn't think about pushing it together. I had read somewhere else that you needed to push the back together and push the push tab and it would unlatch. Thank you again!
