I have the same question. One of my M3's (a new acquisition I made in December) also has this sound. It seems to be harmless and I'm tempted to ignore it, but I would like to know what's going on. >> Dave, this noise is completely normal in the M Leica slow speed gear train. Typically audible from 1 through 1/8th second, if your M does _not_ make this noise at these speeds, it is probably time for a CLA. Will von Dauster
