I have a Bronica ETRS and I'm experiencing some problems with shutter speeds. Basically with just the lens attached to the body i.e. no finder or film back attached all the speeds including the slow ones (whole seconds) work as far as I can tell accurately. As soon as the film back is attached with the dark slide removed the speeds appear to default to 1/500 as certainly I can see that the slow speeds are not working. Attaching the finder which is an AEII makes no difference either way. The only interconnection between the film back and the body is a pin which locks the shutter release if the dark slide is not removed. As the shutter works I can't see how the attaching of the film back causes the shutter to default to 1/500. Any advice or suggestions on this problem would be appreciated.
