Thanks a lot!
To me the "Soundman OKM II classic" is the winner:
http://www.nnyman.com/soundman/ or http://www.soundman.de/
Here are some examples (not mine ofcourse):
http://www.inchadney.com/sounds.html
It is tiny, Extremely sensitive, and relatively affordable. It is not
very quiet it seems, but all mics that are sensitive AND quiet
require phantom power, are large, and often VERY expensive....
Thanks,
Michiel
