Well, it was quiet, but it's almost impossible for a focal plane shutter
to be more quiet than a well made leaf shutter...

I used my IIIc quite a bit and my IIIf, which is basically the same, was used
extensively. Still use it from time to time. It's just a matter of getting
accustomed to it. I even progressed to the point where I could load it while
walking. A loud shutter on a Barnack Leica is a sign that a CLA and some
lubricant is needed. They can be whisper quiet.

Well it's IIIc and it's controls are pretty clunky compared to well
almost anything else and it's range finder wasn't combined with it's
viewfinder which isn't really any better than a Kodak Retina IIc's and I
had a Kodak Retina IIc, and a Pentax so I never bothered to get better
with it, oh and it's shutter's noisier than the Retina's was too...

Sometimes, perfectly sharp just isn't possible, especially on a

Oh, so if I get a Leica my pictures will all be sharp? Zowie! -T

Don't lose heart, they might want to cut it out, and they'll want to avoid a
