I have a question about Nikon FM2 and the motor drive MD-12 that perhaps
some owner might be able to clear up.  Does the MD-12 have a release on
its grip?  If so, how does it fire the FM2's shutter, considering that
the FM2 is a mechanical camera?  Is there a solenoid in the FM2 to fire
the shutter on an external charge?  Is this why there are four contacts
on the bottom of the FM2?  Additionally, what is the difference between
the MD-11 and MD-12?

Apologies for the possibly limited interest of this message
