Subject: [Leica] MP vs M6 noise

Thanks for your comments Kare, it is very probably, neveetheless I think
that MP and M6 material of the curtain shutter is not the same. And even
much different from the M3, this one was more caoutchouc style, actually are
more on the tissue type.

I think part of what is going on is that the M6 cameras right now are
10-20 years old. This means they are now well settled into their
prime condition.  Leicas do have a break-in period of several hundred
rolls.

MP and M7 cameras are still brand new for Leicas. Given them a couple
thousand frames and we'll see if they don't settle down a little bit.
