The MD1 can rip the film off the end of the cartridge if you don't watch
the film counter, while the MD2 counts a preset number of exposures.
MD2 on OM-3,4 counts all frames with either camera or MD shutter
release. I personally like the film leader left out, I just wind the film back
manually to leave a small tab exposed. There is a lever near the take
up real that signals the film is rewound, hence the leader is left out.
