I'm not sure if this has occurred "naturally," or as a result of rubbing against the Domke insert I use in my bag, as such cracking is limited to the top of the finder (the only part that comes into contact with anything in the bag); the sides are uneffected. When the paint flakes off, as I suppose it will, I'm going to cover the top with black tape. I'll consult the archives or email Dr. Blacktape personally to ensure that I use the correct brand. At that time, I'll be sure to follow LUG protocol and write in dozens of bitchy messages complaining that for $275 (or whatever they cost), they should be made of solid gold and not of plastic and paint!
