What was the trix processed in cheers.
 
At least a Nikon F forum now that it's gotten pretty loose about SLRs. I see there is one for Nikon mirrorless.
 
For your special pleasure.
38 rounds / 9.7 seconds
continous fire

Wonderful! One of my F2’s has an MD-1 and MB-1, but I’ve never done that! Normally I use my D700 at the racetrack for car club photos, but the motorized F2 might be worth taking to get some action shots - just to say I did it.

P.S. I’ve tried an MP-40 and MG-42… they’re faster :)
 
Where the motorized F2 feels very comfortable - blasting :)
So I'll take extra vacation time.

Choose the image section carefully.
Mount the device F2 + motordrive on an tripod
connect a cable release
switch to M3, flip up the Mirror
listen to the horn signal of the blasting master
and 3 - 2 - 1 fire
. . . .
aahh I love it

This sky scraper demolition was almost a folk festival.
A big video screen, helicopters,
and in the front row stood photographers and film people with equipment that you didn't want to know the value of.

Distance about 1700 feet.
Backlight almost directly into the lens.
The chimney is on the right edge of the picture.
Lens: 300 / 2,8 Ais
Device of course F2 + Motordrive an a fresh load of batteries

At the same time, I took pictures with a D700 and 180/2.8 Ais and made a movie out of it.
A fireman kindly lent me his walkie-talkie so I could hear the demolition officer's command.
