I dropped an ordinary M6 from about 4 feet onto a concrete front porch step. There is a very faint abrasion in the surface finish near the rewind crank. There is no dent and no damage to the internal body mechanisms or the lens. If the abrasion were not pointed out I doubt one would be able to find it. It's hard to imagine titanium would have provided any more protection; it certainly couldn't have provided any more shock protection. - -Gary Gary S. Colby University of La Verne
