Beauty of the Nikon MD-100 and Nikon MB-100

Beautiful Motor Drive Sounds

At today's meeting, the Nikon F250 was loaded with long 250-exposure film and the F2H was loaded with 36-exposure film. Then, the meeting room was filled with the powerful, heavy sound that drove the film. Let's take a look at some actual movie taken with the Nikon F2 high-speed motor drive camera (F2H). Since it is a 10 fps machine, it can shoot a 36-exposure film in about 4 seconds. Keep your eye on the film re-winding crank as it spins at high speed. This will be the first movie released to the world.
