Motor drive/Winder which are quiet?

[baachitraka]

I have winder 2 for Olympus OM which is rather very loud and unpleasant to hear and it may be the know case for the winder 2. But is there any winder or motor drive that is quiet?

The Oly Winders are all noisy dont know about the motor...

Motor drive and winder of the period are loud so that to make people take noticec

Your'e seeking the holy grail, I've never heard a quiet one made by any manufacturer.

I think I fire the shutter from the camera release if I'm worried, I've forgotten the exact technique.
But normally unless the subject is wearing white pajamas and black belt I'm not terribly worried.

Cameras with integrated winder can be quiet. Examples coming to mind are the Nikon F4 and the Canon EOS 5.

Yeap, and it was you who told me that.
Press the shutter button on camera and then when you want to advance the film press the shutter button on the winder.

T90 as well..but the quietest is the LX winder...I don't how how quiet the real motordrive is, tough.

On this basis how about the F5? However I can't say I have noticed anyone say it has a quiet winder

N80 has motor drive built in and is very quiet.

My Canon EOS 1-N RS isn't too bad. If that's a priority, you might look at other pellicle mirror SLRs.

I never used one (or heard one), but the Canon EOS Elan, from 1991, is supposedly very quiet. I remember reading that Canon used a belt drive, not gears, for the motorized film advance, making it much quieter than the usual. Take a look at the Canon Museum site for more info.
