Even the 645N II housings are magnesium-like plastic, with the same look of the MZ-S, so why the *ist D should be magnesium? Only for fighting against the EOS 10D? If it's magnesium, do you really believe that Pentax could miss to point out that in their press release? It's possible, but not very likely. I'm afraid it's plastic.
