Walt, I'm glad to see that my subjective impressions sometimes match your more objective analyses. Because, in my opinion, the M4 and the F & F2 with standard prism are leading the gang of the most beautiful 35mm cameras ever made, each of them in their own category. (even more in black paint finish) The MD-2 motor is also a nice looking piece of engineering. Maybe it's nostalgia only. ;-) Now, I agree that some Leicaflex and R cameras are quieter (!) than the F/F2 even if the SL/SL2 MOT with motor and the F2 + MD-2 are both in the same league. You know, with the AK-47. This is lens aside, of course. Lucien
