The XR-P has a full metal frame inside (back then Ricoh was making the frame for a Nikon (probably the F3) and there is a nice publicity showing the "nude" XR-P). BUT, over that frame, you find a lot of plastic... Still one of the best body. Ricoh XR-8 super (KR-5 III in US market) is used by PDML member Yoshiniko for his lens tests. It must be full featured. But I have never seen one.And which bodies are you using? Some of them seem pretty well-built, like the KR-5 & KR-10. Some seem pretty mediocre. Recommendations?Collin
