Bronica was originally unable to manufacture it's own optics and hired Nikon. The early cameras of Bronica were focal plane SLR cameras such as the Bronica S2, C2, EC, etc. offers a unique optical design.

Unlike more complicated leaf shutter lens designs, these Bronica lens do not require built-in shutters or focusing. The lens mount can also attach in three different ways with a large bayonet, small bayonet and a 57mm screw mount with a 1mm pitch. This made it easier for manufactures to easily produce many different types of lens heads that share the same focusing module. This also made it easy for many companies to manufacture automatic or preset diaphragm modules with built-in focusing to attach to an existing lens head design not originally made for the Bronica.

This is also great for making, adapting and hacking your own lens, but with so many separate parts this can also be very confusing inadvertently buying incomplete secondhand items.

Later Bronica produced their own when Nikon was getting out of the OEM lens business. Cameras like the ETRS, SQ and GS uses leaf shutter lenses.
