It isn't slow speed! It is a normal speed...
With IIIc, I usually go down to 1/15 - 1/10. Photos are sharp.
With 35mm lens and steady eye, you can go down to 1/2 - 1/4 :

but you *WILL* lose a shot or two...
And yes, shutter sound, even in IIIc, is the most *photographic*
sound I know of. (big Sunpak *thud!* doesn't count. Nor EOS's *bzzzz*) :)
