Both of my Minox's are metal. A "B" and a "C".

My (real) camera history starts (early fifties) with Rolleicord,
Rolleiflex, Hasselblad, Sinar, Alpa, Leica, Linhof, and Hasselblad again.
All very much "heavy metal." The one camera I did have that wasn't metal,
was an 8x10 Deardorf. Beautiful wooden camera, but very sloppy in its
movements.
