I remember getting my OM-1n at a time when my best friend was
shooting photos with a Canon F1. The difference in volume between
out shutters was amazing. We had a friend who was shooting with a
Nikon F2 and his shutter wasn't even as quiet as the F1 to my ears.
Back then the F2 and its variants were what I thought of when I
thought of cameras. Big, clunky, loud contraptions. To me the OM was
always quiet, small and elegant. I guess to Leic* guys my OM is big,
clunky and loud. ;-)

When I still had my Leica a friend bought an OM1. I was amazed
because it was not much bigger than my M3 with clip on MR meter and
was nearly as quiet. I remember thinking that was the camera Leica
should have built as an slr, not that doorstop they brought out
before they went shopping at the Minolta factory. My OM4T is not as
quiet, but much quieter than the Canon F1n tank I had in the interim.
