Hugh,

The SL received a couple of scratches on the baseplate, and the shock of the impact made the shutter fire.  I picked the  camera up, put it back on the 400 and kept making pictures.  There have been no hints of malfunction.  This is a very tough camera.

This particular SL is an early-production model, and I've heard that later-production SL bodies are stronger.  Anyone who want an indestructible SLR ought to consider a Leicaflex.
