MD-12's have always had a lot of problems... not to mention
destroying FM shutters. In my "early days" I used FM's (and FM2's) with
MD-12's and after 2 years gave up in disgust.
They were a bad design from the beginning. Nikon got it right with
the F3/MD-4 combination so I don't know why it was so hard to make the
FM/MD-12 work
