Nit-picky Q re: Luigi's case

[JayC]

I want to decide which camera to keep: R3A or Leica M6
I really love the feel of the r3a in my hands, but dislike the sound.
I really love the quietness of the m6, and the Leica "badge" that comes with it's use.
I don't like the idea of using external viewfinders if I want to go wider than 35/40mm on the r3a.
But, I have a digital slr and a mamiya 7 that can get me the wide landscape shots.

What type of difference will I get if I add one of the LeicaTime cases to the r3a? Will the shutter sound be dampened enough to reach the soulnd level of the m6?
Will a 35/50/75 combo of lenses be too close for use on the r3a?

I currently own a 35, 40, and 50mm in lenses. Iwill probably get rid of the 40 because i just can't get used to the tab focussing.

Thanks,
Jay

the only time you notice shutter noise is in gallery type situations where there is little or no background noise. If you are in a normal shooting situation people will be hard pushed to hear the shutter of the bessa and if they do the shot is over by then. Don't by a Luigi case as a noise reduction system, buy it as a cosmetic enhancement system instead...

no.
the sound will be slightly muffled.

I doubt it. The case helps noticably, but not in a "wow" kind of sense.
