I'm in Chicago for a few days of business meetings, but took advantage of the fine Sunday weather to try out my new/used/abused Visoflex II/Elmarit 90/2.8 combo. I was wasn't sure if I had adjusted the Visoflex shutter release travel properly, so after finishing a roll of film I sat down near a park, took off the lens and hinged pressure plate/door, and tripped the shutter a bunch of times to try to make sure the Visoflex mirror had completely swung out of the way before the shutter released. With the body open and the Visoflex attached, my M was at its noisest. Somebody quickly walked by, shaking his head, and in an irritated voice, said: "Jeez, that's a damn sight quieter than my Nikon!" =20 Regards, PB Paul C. Brodek Kobe, Japan pcb@iac.co.jp
