Hi Bruce, BD> I bought a film *ist as a backup to my *istD. Overall, it is quite BD> nice and has enough features. Pretty usable overall. Certainly not BD> an MZ-S by any stretch of the imagination, but at 1/3 cost, there are BD> not very many features on the MZ-S that it is lacking.
could you tell me how loud is the sound of the shutter (and mirror slap, and motor winder) of 35mm ist ?? Isn't it too loud? Compared to MZ bodies, eg. I am thinking about upgrading my SFX (which is very loud), and will have to choose from MZ-5n, MZ-6 and *ist. I also heard that the film ist has plastic tripod mount.. is it true? Regards Peter B.
