Hi Shel, sorry about your LX. My (new, one day only <g>) LX is loud too compared to probably M series, but much quieter and more pleasant than my other Pentaxes I have(had) K2DMD (SFXn). It's a nice sound, not high-pitched, quite pleasant. But I admit, it's not really quiet :( For MF rangefinder, what about older Mamiya 6? Should be much cheaper than the super-expensive 7 prices.
And have you considered a M pres 23? It doesn't have that fast glass in wideangles, though, fastest is normal lens, 3.5 I think. And it offers no interlocks, but is dirty cheap.
