peter_kim2 Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 I was reading about the Ikon in a UK mag here in the US I think its called amateur photographer. It mentioned that the Ikon will have the same shutter as the 2 new Bessas. Does anyone know what kind of shutter it is? I held off on buying the older Bessa for a couple reasons one of which was shutter noise. I wonder what the shutter sounds like on the new cameras. I thought conventional wisdom said that 1/1000 was the fastest speed on leicas cause it was a cloth focal plane shutter. I wonder if the 1/2000 on the new ikon/bessas indicates a metal shutter...

eric rose Posted November 3, 2004 Share Posted November 3, 2004 I have a Bessa R and the shutter is quite quiet. Not as quiet as a Leica, but quiet enough for taking photos in churchs without getting any dirty looks. Even used a mini tripod. Hopefully the photo I want to add will get added here.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
