Hello Andre! That's not an easy question! I would not only take the absolute noise level into account but also the pitch of the winding sound. MZ-S and MZ-5n/3 are on a comparable level, but the pitch of the MZ-S seems to be a bit higher - perhaps due to the slightly higher framerate. The Z1-p has the most pleasant sound - at least to my ear. It sounds most solid, simply inspiring confidence. Whereas people may find its mirror slap louder than the MZ's , the deeper pitch of the motordrive at 4 fps makes it more enjoyable to "listen" to... Just my two Eurocents... SF-1n or SF-Xn; I'm sorry - I never saw one. Ah, and then there is the LX at 5 fps, but that's a different monster ;-) All the best, Thomas
