I don't believe anyone believes, or said, they are SILENT. They are quiet compared to a typical SLR...which "quiet compared to" is the same as "quieter than", and, again, does not mean silent. Silent and quiet are two different things. At least to my kids ;-) Regards, Austin - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
