I used to have a Topcon Super D for that reason :-). I am actually thinking about getting a Superr D agian.... that (pruely mechanical) SOUND! It is also one of the most beautiful cameras ever made IMO :-)
Many architects and designers bought a Topcon for the looks - the Topcon design has this pure, simple/basic lines of an ancient Greek building. And it's a great "photographer" as well. And BTW: Don't underestimate the beauty of a sound (of 1 sec). This actually goes for cars, motorbikes, car doors, watches, human voices - among other things - as well.

(Crashed my computer and lost my "favorites." Wish I knew what that URL was) Anyway, I think it was the Leica owners that were described as taking their cameras into the bathroom with them so that they could be alone listening to the sound of their camera's shutter. They don't take pictures, just snap the shutter. Regards, Bob... From: "Thibouille" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Why not a couple primes?
