Description

The MD-4 is a beast of a machine. Specifically designed for the legendary Nikon F3, this motor drive transformed the F3 from a manual-advance camera into a high-speed professional powerhouse. It is capable of firing up to 6 frames per second (with the mirror locked up) and provides a much larger, more comfortable vertical grip for portrait orientation. It features an automatic film rewind function and a frame counter that can be preset to stop the camera after a specific number of shots.
