Noise levels

I am currently using MZ-M manual focus. Eye sight has deteriated so much I need to change to Autofocus to help. Have used MZ-7, but have found that the wind on and rewind at the end of a roll, seems to be embarrisingly noisy in comparison to my friends Nikons and Canons. Are there any quieter rewinding Pentax bodies out there? or, is it the MZ-7 rewind in need of a service? Would the extra bulk and weight of a battery pack help?

Any comments would be welcome.
Thanks JonH

Jon, I would have thought that the MZ-7 was about average - seeing as it's a fairly recent model!
Is it significantly noisier than your MZ-M?, if so, then I suspect that it could do with a service.

Have you tried adjusting the diopter control on the viewfinder? - most Pentax's have them and I believe the MZ-M has one too.

Of course, if you want a really quiet AF SLR, try an *ist digital - apart from the shutter release, they're virtually silent
Die my dear doctor, that's the last thing I shall do!
