I'm talking about the Winder MX. It's smallish and lightish, and it only does 2 fps: http://f650gs.hp.infoseek.co.jp/image/MXwWDR.jpeg You're talking about the Motor Drive MX. It's biggish, heavyish, and has an outboard battery pack. It does 5 fps. Can't find a photo of it offhand. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
