Hi, Lukasz,

I agree.

I've handled a Voigtlander, and I found it plasticky feeling as well, most likely
because the body's skin is made of plastic <g>.

It is noisy (your comparison to an MX is about right), and vibrates more than I'd
like.  My Leica CL (which isn't as quiet and vibration-free as an M6) is better
than the Voigtlander in both regards.

For what they're asking for one here in Canada, it didn't seem worth the money,
for a new body.

FWIW...

regards,
frank
