My office is in the front room of a run-down 12 megapixel sensor but the rent suits me and the landlord doesn't ask many questions.

Is a bellows worth the extra cash over extension tubes for close-up work? Going to be solely using the 80mm that came with the kit for quite a while, but the minimum focusing distance is pretty extreme.

How close are we talking here?

Yeah I used to use the short ext tube to shoot portraits with my 150mm f/4 because that was the only way to get a frame filling composition. If you want 1:1 you want a bellows.

Also if generally if you ask around you can get someone to send you a few empty boxes for the cost of postage so you have something to start off with.

I recently came into possession of three Bronica ETRS cameras. Since this is my first time working with Bronica's system is there anything I should keep in mind when testing them?

Two thing to keep in mind.

1: The latch to remove the back is fiddly but once you figure it out not so bad

2: 6x4.5 is dumb and bad

My biggest issue with the format is the fact that it requires the same amount of effort to shoot and scan as 6x6 or 6x7. I mean you''ll get a few extra frames on a roll but unless you are chewing through film that's not really a big draw imo.

It can be useful for identifying orientation when setting up your negs in an enlarger or when scanning.

Also people used to cut extra notches into cameras with removable backs so that way if you found am issue on a roll you knew which light trap to replace. This might have just been with hassie backs tbh but it was pretty common in those.
