Re: AW: [OM] Motordrive 1 - early version?

[Skip Williams]

There is no place to store the MD cap on a Motor Drive 1.  I keep mine MD 
caps in a little clear box about the size of a film cartridge along with a 
spare shoe, autoconnector type 4, film extractor, loose TTL screw-on caps 
for the OM-3/4, and a CRIS adapter.
The only "problem" with the 18v grip is batteries.  It takes 12!  The 15v 
Nicad pack is a little more convenient.
Actually, you might be on the lookout for a 15v Pack, they come up at camera 
shows every so often.
Congrats on your purchase though.
