Why not a blimped LX? Pentax makes one. Fits over your arm to the elbow, and
snugs up to the lens front. Was in an LX brochure I've seen, or have.
For 35mm, non-blimped, I've a Canonet (origional) with baseplate film
advance (folding) lever (it's easy once you get used to it) that hardly
makes a sound when fired. The gears make a little more noise when you
advance the film!
And you "My Speed Graphic is quiet!" folks, you're right, it is, until
everyone at the wedding hears you return the dark slide, snatch the film
holder out, flip it over, and slam it back in as you try to keep up with the
procession. And the roll film backs do a lot of clicking if you go that way.
