I can’t think of many instances where noise from the camera shutter, adds to the process of photography. Maybe some people-subjects like the sound, knowing the photo is finished… Some really clunky noises out there in camera-land. My Fuji 690SWII sounds like a toy spring shutter…and then needs a double wind… the Canon 60D is enormously noisy with a massive mirror slaps and recock combined. My most discrete cameras are the modern Canon Powershots…in-lens shutters…essentially silent. Even quieter than a Barnack... What was the sound of the Leicavit like??? The Motor-M also made noise. The DSLR clacking at press and presidentials. The M8 sounds like electro-mechanical film winding to me. Web research over the last 3 years since I became a Leica nut shows no references to the “nice sound of the shutter”. Everyone loves to hate the shutter-recock sound. A huge urban myth, I suggest. Perhaps it is an OK sound?? Some sound must be present due to mechanical settings and movements. (Is it another “myth”; like the pathological hatred of the UV/IR filters ??) But no sound at all is preferred…forget your black tape descretionairres... ... It seems it’s always the sound which attracts attention…. the din which discloses the discrete. Care to add anything on camera shutter noise?? The TLR leaf shutters where nice. The M8 delay recock is just silly really? Cheers Dave S
