Don, Mike and all others:

I am also troubled by the plastic components intruding on M-series Leicas.
In particular, the base of all 35mm film disturbs me. To avoid plastic or
organic material I suggest returning in photography to time-proven coated
glass plates. This way we can preserve the material purity of our
metallurgically pristine M cameras. Herr Cohn: Are you listening?

Regards, Andrew Jordan, Ph.D.(in Materials Science)
