Its just protractedly long. There are after shocks. Always on more last word. Stuff goes on later like on a Hassy motor driven ELM. Its not the shutter. Its other stuff later. But much quieter. The two I've come in contact with one I shot quite a few shots with the noise was never noticed. Quieter than the camera i've been using most the time now a Leica IIIF. With silk shutter. And like the M8 and ELM various after noises which come later. Part of the actual shutter firing or not. Mark Rabiner New York, NY 40?47'59.79"N 73?57'32.37"W http://rabinergroup.com/
