Hmmm None of my catalogs show the Simple Shutter. Interesting. Kind of limiting, though.
Some of my Norma Shutters are louder and some more gentle than others, none of them vibrate at all. A few have escapements that have had a hard life, George Brown says "change speeds slowly and gently" with those. Mac at Camtronics has helped me a lot getting the bugs out of these units. The sync cords into the shutter frequently break off, I have all kinds of repairs in my collection.
