Can anyone comment on >how much noise it makes compared to an M6? The R8/9 shutter is exceptionally quiet. I have not made any scientific measurements, but if you lock the mirror up (the major source of noise in any SLR) and then fire the shutter, it is no more noisy that the traditional M series shutter... I believe it may even be a wee bit quieter. YMMV. Cheers! --- David Young, Logan Lake, CANADA Wildlife Photographs: http://www.telyt.com/ Personal Web-pages: http://www3.telus.net/~telyt
