I use a 4T with MD-2 and switch lenses routinely.  I have never had the film 
advance 2 frames upon lens change automatically.  If the frame count reset 
button is pressed, then the MD will advance two frames, just as if you have 
changed film.  I have had more problem with hitting the advance button until I 
learned to grip the body with my right thumb over the pentaprism and my fingers 
wrapped up under the bottom of the motor.  That way, the actuating button was 
plenty clear of my fumbly fingers <g>.  

Hope that helps a little.

looks like a good device however when I changed lenses it seemed that  it 
advanced the film 2 frames automatically. I am not sure if it should  do that 
or maybe if by accidentally touching the lock release lever on  the side of the 
motor drive that sets of the counter. The manual was of  not much help. Where 
can I get more info on this unit ?"
