FOREWORD

The Nikon 250-Exposures Multi-Control Back MF-24 is the long film roll version of the MF-23. Both MF-23/ MF-24 are exclusively designed for use with a Nikon F4 camera and a High-Speed Battery Pack MB-21, the External Power Regulator MB-22 and the MB-23 that introduced at later stage. The MF-23/MF-24 replaces the standard F4 camera grip and back to allow continuous shooting (as for the MF-24, it permits shooting of up to 250 frames without changing film). EXCEPT for the long film roll shooting capability. The MF-24 is equivalent to the MF-23 in all of its functions. We will use the MF-24 as the template here in this site - please SKIP sections that contain the MZ-1 cassettes and 250-exposures section as it is refer to the MF-24.
