FM2 MD12 troubles in Nikon Posted December 11, 2002 I am having troubles with my MD12 not responding when attached to my FM2. I have the impression that the problem lies within the FM2 because when I cross the contacts on the MD12 when it's not attached to the camera it appears to trigger and wind just fine. I actually have 2 FM2s and MD12s and I have the same problem with both bodies and drives. I have used FM2s for many years and this is not the first time I have had this problem. Does anyone out there know the likely cause of this? I once had a repairman mention to me that the problem lies in a diode within the FM2 that has a tendency to fail. Any suggestions on how to solve this would be much appreciated.
