Quite is GROSSLY over-rated. I, too, used to buy into the myth of quiet.
But I quickly discovered  that what matters is how the photographer
behaves, carries him or herself, and not the decibel level of the camera
- - except in those settings where quite is specifically required.

And I'm looking at picking up a few spoils in the form of unwanted M's.
I 
like all of the Bessa (except the L), and would let them suffice were it

not for the noise factor. I need quiet!
