PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
A motor drive can help you be more responsive to action or happenings around you. There are more reasons for an FA to have a motor drive attached to its body other than just for the exciting world of motor-drive photography. With the shutter always ready for the next shot, you'll have every chance to pin down un-repeatable moments of truth as they arise.
You can also try motor-driven multiple exposures for really special effects or take sequential shots of a action game. And since the FA's has a shutter priority AE along with few other automatic exposure control, with the matrix metering or the center weighted metering to handle the accuracy in different lighting imaginable, shooting with the MD15 can be a very enjoyable experience as you don't have to worry too much about exposure calculation.
Motor Drive MD-15 The FA is an electronic camera. It needs battery to power most of its function - except the M250 and B setting, which operates mechancally even without a batter installed in your FA. The camera's power efficiency is commendable, Battery consumption: Metering: Approx. 9.4mA; Shutter releasing: Approx. 17mA; Exposure compensation LED lighting: Approx. 2mA. and making the FA one of above average fully electronic Nikon bodies. The MD-15 was introduced in 1983/4 and was discontinued around the same time. The FA was discontinued in 1989. The MD-15 served a dual functions when used in combination with the FA. This motor drive was produced exclusively for the Nikon FA - it is a dedicated unit and it cannot be shared with other Nikon body as with the MD11/12. Firstly, it is an automatic film advance device. Next, this is the second and last detachable motor drive designed by Nikon that can power the camera operations - even without battery(ies) inside your camera body (the MD-4 for the F3 is the first). When you attached the MD15 onto the FA, the camera body's batteries are automatically turned off and MD-15's will take over the power supply for the camera. The shutter release button on the motor drive acts and behaves the same way as the camera's, slightly depress will automatically activates the meter and off after 16 seconds when in a state of inactivity.

Medium Format
Medium format refers to the size of your roll of film (or if you’re talking digital, it’s the size of the camera sensor). It really just means that you are shooting on a bigger piece of film than you do with a 35mm camera. The increased size of medium format film means a much larger negative. This will give you finer details and less grain.
Choosing your Right Medium Format Camera
Twin Lens Reflex (TLRS)
TLRs use two objective lens of the same focal length. The photographic objective lens is the one that is used to take the picture. The other lens, called the view lens, is connected to the viewfinder. Most TLRs are fixed focal length, and the more expensive models may incorporate a rudimentary room function. Most TLRs use a leaf shutter system, resulting in high speeds, quiet operation and low shutter vibration. There are also close-up, wide angle and telephoto adapters for TLRs.
Some popular TLRS cameras are: Yashica MAT-124G, Rolleiflex 2.8F, Minolta Autocord and Mamiya C330
Rangefinder
Rangefinder cameras are medium format cameras with a range finder. This negates the waistline, viewing that most TLRs carry. They are also much smaller than TLRs, and allow for easier point and shoot photographs. They tend to have limited focusing ranges, and do not have lenses larger than 180mm or 200mm. Rangefinders are quieter and easier to focus in dim light. They are mostly fixed lens models, but higher range models also provide for interchangeability.
Some popular rangefinder cameras are: Fujica G690, Mamiya 6/7, Bronica RF645, Norita 66 and Pentax 67
