Pentax 67 mirror slap is noteworthily loud.

Thanks guys that is interesting to know. Looks like mine was the exception. Would I have kept it if I knew I could have it adjusted? Not sure but I know for sure I would have liked it more if it were quieter when I used it.
Odd how we place emphasis on such things but we do. Its part of the reason people buy expensive cars if they can afford it - one of the worst sounds I remember of objects I owned as a young man was the cheap tinny clatter of a inexpensive car door closing. I guess it's all part of the human condition to like nice things.

I think we could do with a sister thread: ‘which analogue camera takes the better picture’.

Motor driven Nikon F2. Especially when you use the motorized rewind. Let's the whole world know you're shooting serious.

This thread cracks me up so thank you all for your incredible description. My M4, Rolleiflex and Olympus Pen, Pen S and Pen W barely make a sound so I guess that doesn't count. Unless we're talking silenced fire arms. If so then I would say the Pen series are the most silent. I like the sound of the Rollei 35 quite a bit. That click and the rewind has this je ne sais quoi

Which analogic camera SOUNDS better?
Minolta AF-C 35mm P&S.
Shutter sounds like a kittens sneeze.
