Thank you, Roberto, and this example was included in the list seen in post #69. Out of interest where did you acquire the hot-shoe cover? Is it 'the original' as included with the camera or something you found from a 3rd party provider? Philip. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats on the new M-D. It's not one I've seen before. (I have a list of about 130 M-Ds) Edited April 3, 2023 by Datsch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The M-D seems to reset filenames after 10000. Some say it does not appear to increment the folder number (I've not hit 10000 myself yet) If you put a new card in, the camera remembers the number and keeps counting with the new card, so I am not aware of it being able to be manipulated. Basically, if your filename is 3000 then the camera could have taken 3000, or 13000, or 23000 shots etc. Edited April 3, 2023 by Datsch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was at L1001195.DNG for my first capture. I expected it to have been used more, s/n 4983030. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattiasAndersson Posted April 3, 2023 Share #171 Posted April 3, 2023 Some corner brassing, as it should be. A case from ClassicCases Scotland, a bit thick to hold but gives a secure grip with the Thumbs Up. Welcome, dear visitor!

Of course the current theory is that it could have 1,195 shots or perhaps 11,195 or 21,195 etc. we just don't know. I'm sure it has many many more intersting pictures to take in its lifetime though!

This is still correct as far as I know. The (apparent!) fact that the folder number doesn'r roll-over is a little bit of a PITA. I've just come back from a few days away and, for my system, needed to renumber 250-odd DNG files to ensure there could not be any possibility of the new ones over-writing previously shot frames. In my case, having gone into the 10,000+ bracket, the allocated L1002345 (or whatever) file-name / number becomes MD L1012345. Cutting'n'pasting MD L101 over the existing L100 does take a bit of time; in my case the 250+ frames took 15 mins. to re-name. My own approach to the tedium is to equate it with the time it takes to load and process some 35mm film... Philip.

When I get to that stage I will be using the Multi-rename Tool in Total Commander which is my favourite file manager. It offers among many other things find and replace within filenames. Maybe worth a look? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the suggestion, Datsch; I will definitely have a look at the program. As well as the files from the M-D there were some 200+ files from the trip which were shot on the Monochrom and these also had to be renamed. Renaming 450-odd files is sort-of tolerable (in terms of time-spent) but the experience of renaming a few thousand frames from longer trips is not something which could be described as being pleasureable...

Aldrahn Posted June 14, 2023 Author Share #180 Posted June 14, 2023 In a fit of madness I sold my M-D awhile ago (5150491) I'm now on an endless search to find another. If anyone here has 5150491, take care of her, she was so sweet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
