Hi Glen I'm familiar with Peter's site, haven't been there for a while, but find his opinions quite refreshing, always wanted a Ricoh XR7 after reading his opinions but sadly never bought one. Maybe the SP differs from the Super A in respect to the top plate, after extensive use the Super A shows brassing to the shoulders etc, it's also cold to the touch..........or maybe there's a coating of brass applied before the black enamel and it may well be plastic, but it sure feels like diecast metal to me.
