Ahhh, now a Hasselblad 500ELM is hard to beat, especially in a church! Heard a digicam the other day, not only a synthesised shutter sound, but motor wind as well....now that was weak assed.

My Nikon FE2 & MD-12 at 3.5 FPS is ok but a bit too loud.

My Nikon F4AS at 5.7 fp is *sweet* by comparison and much quieter.

I laugh when I move the F4AS to CS (Continuous Silent) -then it wheezes like a 2-pack-a-day smoker at about 1 FPS. Louder then 5.7 FPS...

Another vote for the F3/MD4 combo. When I read the thread title that's all I could think of! Miss it!

If you ever heard a Zeiss Ikon Contarex you know that very special shutter noise, it's a little bit like releasing 500 mechanic parts that are all under high tension, a little bit like a clockwork shooting a round like a battleship cannonade. Well, they made a motor drive for that camera to add more fun:

A very weird noise, all together, I heard it once only. These gadgets are rare and in most cases defective today.

I have the Nikon F4 with its built-in motor and a motorized Nikon F2. The sound of the F4 is nice but my favorite is the F2 with an MD1 or MD2 motor drive powered by an MB1 battery pack.

MD-12 with my FE. Loud, for sure, but oh so classic! If I need quiet I use the Canonet.

if you are limited by to 5-10secs of motor winding nirvana, just do it without any film in... no idea about most of these combos, but works for the FE/FM with MD12.

Without a doubt, it has to be the Nikon F2/MD2 combo, followed by the Nikon F3/MD4 combo.
