Not shure, Luis. Even the newest Bessa R3a rangefinder camera is a little 
bit louder than a M6. I was shooting at a wedding last year and the 
official pro photog had a Nikon F5 film SLR - a workhorse but anything else 
than "old" - and he admitted that my M6 was significantly discreeter 
especially during the church ceremony, where many people winced at every 
klaklack.
