COLLECTORS / TECH NOTES

The MD‑2 was Nikon’s flagship motor drive for the F2 system, capable of up to 5 fps when paired with the MB‑1/MB‑2. Many surviving units develop electrical or mechanical faults due to age, making this example ideal for parts harvesting or specialist repair. Working MD‑2 units remain sought after by collectors of Nikon’s professional F‑series.
