hi Cy!
Sorry, but I _am_ cynical :)
I have only one plastic Pentax, one of the better-made ones in those days,
it has got the greatest grip ever, but it *creaks* ! So perhaps you can
understand some of my reservations against plastic. Especially if it's the
same stuff what cellular phones are made of.
Anyway, I just like metal cameras more. But I take utmost care of all
cameras I have, and in the light of 65 year old camera I have still making
perfect pictures (although being used lot of its life), I just feel
reserved about plastic.
And you can't deny that today, things are NOT built to last. As somebody
said, if Spotmatic was built today to same standards, it would cost between
1000-1500$...
But I don't want to start another long plastic/metal or digital/film
flamewar. Can we stop right now and take any more arguments off list?
