Funny you should say that, I'm about to put my RF on eBay, and before I did I thought I'd better make sure the shutter works. It does, but my it's loud. Makes the M8 sound like a whisper <grin>.

My RF has had its problems. The rangefinder is way, way out of whack and one of the prongs on the rewind spindle has snapped off making it impossible for the camera to rewind a film. I'll be selling it for spares or repair.

The rangefinder problem is my fault, trying to correct a vertical alignment problem that the camera had from when I bought it, the prong snapped off a couple of years ago.

I've never used a G2, but reports seem to indicate that the viewfinder was poor, and that the autofocus was a bit hit and miss at times.
