Probably a bit more quiet than my M6. - -----Original Message----- From: delia [mailto:louzan@worldnet.att.net] Sent: Friday, March 12, 1999 5:41 AM To: leica-users-digest@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us Subject: [Leica] M sound level Well, they don't get much quieter than Leica M's in 35mm, except maybe for the black Konica Hexar. A few years back there was a piece in PDN, which said that the CIA asked DAG to make M cameras less noisy. DAG is said to have accomplished it by removing the lubricants. As for the rollei TLR, side by side, the 3.5F is considerably less noisy than the 2.8F. In my opinion, the least noisy camera made today is the Minox M series -- it also has the least shutter delay, a great street photography camera. Regards, Robert
