Hi,

I too have an old type MD1 with the big button and I absolutely love it. I
only have the 18V pistol grip and so far I've never used it directly
attached to the camera as that adds a lot of weight. In fact, I actually do
prefer to store it in my pocket and use the 1.2M relay cord. I find this
works very well (I must admit that the pack did indeed fell out of my pocket
once, but fortunately it didn't get damaged), and this is normally the way I
go about MD pictures.

Now, the only disadvantage I can think of when speaking about the big button
version, is that you can't connect it to the PBG 2 :(((
For this reason, apart from having the big button version, I also want to
find a small button version someday. I will then use the big button one
whenever I don't use the PBG2, and use the small button one for the pictures
in which I do use the PBG2.

I too am looking for one of those 15V NiCd packs and the charder (again, for
usage with the PBG2), so if anyone has some spare ones...

Also a question: at times my MD1 simply doesn't fire (very annoying!). I
virtually always use it in single mode, and as said, at times for no
apparent reason it just doesn't fire. Does anyone have any idea why that
would happen? When I got it, there was rubber goo at the contacts for the
power source. I cleaned that up, and then it worked most of the times.
Nowadays, these contacts are clean, but still every now and then it simply
doesn't fire...

Cheers!
Olafo
