Shutter Sound

[stavrosk]

My Nikon f100 shutter sounds exactly right to me. Love it!

When you release, you hear a KLUNK...click..KLUNK.

Which reminds me of this:

The "shhhlik" of a leaf shutter is a beautiful sound and music to my ears, particularly the Copal, as they have that extra "H" which the focal planes don't have. On the subject of the perfect “shhlik” or "shhhlik" sound of a leaf shutter. Do APUG members have a favourite, be it focal plane or leaf? For me it would probably be the sound of a Vitomatic IIb on 1/15 second. Preferably just after it’s been serviced and from the northern end of the vineyard.

for me it's the hsound of a hasselblad.music to my ears!

The sound of my "new" Retina IIIc - you have to lean so close to hear it!

I love the sound of 1 second on the Ikoflex RRRRRRRRRzip or the sound of a Contax a simple zip much less noise than a Leica . Hate the sound or more precisely the lack thereof from my Yashicamat I am never sure if I actually took the photo. Love my Koilos shutter click when it opens and clack when it closes but not as hefty a sound as one from the larger copals a simple click and clack. Love those air cylinder shutters. Another very quiet but limited shutter is the clio no cocking necessary no sound when it opens and just a small timid clack when is closes.
