Maybe I miss remember about the body having a focal plane shutter, it
was 40+ years ago, but I was pretty sure that he only used the lens
shutters for high speed flash. In which case the the camera was not
lifting the mirror all the way because most of those images were only
partially exposed.

The only images that came out of that session were from my MX. Both his
Bronica body's failed, in different ways. The first had a shutter
malfunction, and the second curtain was releasing too soon, on the
second a, screw loosened and pushed the focusing screen out of
adjustment and every image was misfocused, a problem I've never seen
before or since.
I don't understand that as the Bronica that Stef has, has the shutters in the
lenses. The cocking mech on the body mechanically cocks the lens shutter,
advances the film and lowers the mirror assembly into place for focussing. This
model is the ETRS. Previous ones were focal plane shutters?
