RE: *ist D revisited

Speaking of metal, the silver metal shell used on Limited lenses are rather 
soft compared to K or M lenses. I have found out the construction of the 31 
is different from 43 & 77 too. The latter 2 are closer to manual focus 
lenses while the mechanical design of the 31 is no different from other AF 
lenses, just with a pretty shell.

I don't know, I haven't seen many pics of the metal parts of various
cameras. Here's a pic of the 10D:

In any case, it's a pretty solid camera.
