<<Because no flash goes off, there is no focus light and no focus and
winder buzz, maybe once again people will not realize that they are being photographed with a Leica.>>
Absolutely. But I have found that the "magic" lasts only a few seconds. Leave the camera up near your face too long fumbling with the focus and it is lost; they will turn and face you and grimace. Raise, shoot and lower, and indeed the subject doesn't even feel that a picture was "taken." BTW, I have heard my wive say the same thing, "Oh, don't mind Bob, that old camera was made before they invented flash." :-)
