I was not opening up the subject I was responding to a subject which really doesn't interest me too much. If there are plastic part's in a Leica M6 I'm sure the work great. I've dropped my camera as I've said before numerous times on cement and wooden and vinyl floors. I guess my camera has been tested on most of the common ground services. And from several feet and with not a small amount of inertia. Takes a lickin and keeps on clicken whatever they are making it out of it seems to be an appropriate choice of I'm sure hightech particleboard with graphite ceramics in between. I'm shooting the thing not taking it apart and analyzing the parts. I trust a company which has earned my trust. You've gotten off to bad start with Leica with that bad pressure plate maybe you should switch to Alpa or some interesting quality hand crafted esoteric product that has not pissed you off?
