I heard the sound during my pick up of both M11 & Visoflex 2. Good that i heard the weird sound. But the dealer checked with his other customer who also has the similar "condition", so he claim this is normal. It still feel very strange to me and that's why i'm here asking all your opinion. I think i better email the video to Leica customer care to be sure. Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlashGordonPhotography Posted March 10, 2022 Share #22 Posted March 10, 2022 Picked mine up today. Has the same rattle. Seems to work OK so I don't see a problem. Gordon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon Hi Gordon, are you saying your Visoflex 2 also makes the similar noise? I just received a reply from Leica customer care, they said from the video sounds like there is something rolling around in it. And Visoflex should definitely not make any sounds. I'm going to back to my dealer and get it replaced. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to back to my dealer and get it replaced. If I take it off the camera and give it a shake it clunks when shook in a fore/aft direction. Nothing side to side. I do have to give it a proper shake though. Had someone not brought it up I doubt I'd have noticed it. It's not something that happens in normal use or with normal camera movement. It doesn't sound like something is rolling around inside. It needs a solid shake. I'll give the store a call but really I'm not concerned about it. It's working fine. It's not like I'm going to be shaking it deliberately in normal use. Gordon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
M Journey Posted March 11, 2022 Share #26 Posted March 11, 2022 I can hear something inside my visoflex moving when i shake it really hard but its not loose and bouncing around, more like a piece that is vibrating with the shaking. its also very feint and is a pretty dull sound. I had to shake it pretty hard... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rubi Posted March 20, 2022 Share #29 Posted March 20, 2022 I have a M11 for one month, and was very happy to find a polished interface with few drawbacks (notably the inability to custom the FN button menus- just like my Cl; but for another thread), until yesterday when the Visoflex 2 would not switch to EVF before several seconds, in any mode- auto, extended, even manual. The sensitivity setting did not help. (For example, in extended mode, I had largely the time to review images before the switch to LCD, which is not supposed to happen). This makes shooting with the Visoflex almost impossible. After very bad experiences with a M9 a decade ago, I was relieve to come back to M with a « normal » product, but…..

Perhaps, but for anyone that's hearing a rattling noise I suspect the good news is that the photograph above is showing you the likely culprit(s). I've never noticed any sounds, but it seems like nothing to worry about. Edited March 20, 2022 by Tailwagger Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been experiencing the same issue. Seems to happen when my camera goes into sleep mode. I end up having to power it off, remove Visoflex 2, reinsert and power back on. Hopefully a firmware can fix this issue, but taking it back to the store just in case 😕 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
