Does the all time projected framelines bother you. Thank you in advance</blockquote> The three projected finders don't seem bothersome to me. I've not had or used a Canon P in years. I've been looking through a few of them lately though. The frames are in three distinct sizes, quite easy to associate with the wide or normal or tele lens in use. Plus having all three seen all the time can help in comparing the views each type of lens gives, allowing a direct, one-shot comparison. Having a cloth shutter in place of the titanium one will probably not reduce the noise that much. Canon V with cloth shutters (folded around the laths) sound to make as much shutter noise as Canon P or 7 with titanium shutters. Perhaps the sound will be a bit different when the shutter is fired without a lens in place, but in use, a lens will always be on and the lens will muffle the sound of a firing shutter significantly. @Angel:

I will probably do it myself. I think that the sound of the cloth shutter will be a bit quieter... (which doesn't really matter much on a busy street) And my other question is: How do you like the P's finder. Does the all time projected framelines bother you. Thank you in advance.

Canon metal foil shutters are prone to crumpling though. That's why many of Canon P and Canon 7 have crumpling visible on their shutter blinds. The crumples don't affect the shutter's function. At worst, they only look bad, but otherwise, they should function perfectly. If you must replace them, cloth shutters (the right replacement type, such as those from Aki-asahi.com (http://aki-asahi.com/store/html/curtains/shutter-curtain.php and not cloth cut from changing bags) should work properly.

The curtains needs to be replaced, what do you recommend? My repairman suggested I replace it with cloth but I would like to keep it original.
