Shutter/rewind sound M9 vs M9-P vs MM

Like many others here, I have a nostalgic affection for the MM and the M9. I'm looking at getting an additional used CCD M camera before they become extinct. I like the feel of the camera in the hand and the simplicity of the menus.  First came the M9, which was a loud springy thing. Then came the MM which had a much quieter, more well behaved sound. I'm wondering if any of you have found that the more recent M9s or M9-Ps have a quieter shutter, or maybe its just a matter of several thousand activations to quiet the little guy down. 

 

I'm assuming later serial number will have a smoother shutter,but I'd be grateful for opinions from fellow users

 

My serial numbers;

M9  : 3838161

MM : 4344788

 

Thanks, everyone

I don't hear any significant difference between my early M9 and my MM1. And I shouldn't. The shutters are identical throughout the series. There may be some minor sample variation, but it would not be linked to serial numbers or production dates.

Sometime, I feel that my MM is quieter than my M9...and reverse the other time.

Then I realised that they had different lenses put on ;) .

Some bigger lenses filter more sound and vibrations, IMHA.

 

:ph34r: Now the winner is M (type 262).

That's another step to analog M sound (with no Motor of course).

Than you all for your replies. Interesting differences in experience. 

 

Arnaud, I wonder if you notice the difference in size between the 262 and the MM once you have become charmed by the quieter shutter and better buffer of the newer camera. 

 

Thanks

Jacek, I will surprise you.

 

- it's the other way in benefit of M (type 262)

the grip is more secure with the M (type 262) than with Monochrom

by taking them each one rapidly in my hand, the MM rotating wheel that never bother me before become weird

the small bump of the M 262 is welcome, I have never used "Thumbies".

 

-That's a good thing, so by the way each one is identified by feel B) because they are very "same all-black-looking" or only red logo from front.

 

Regards,

 

Arnaud
