Re: An gold bargain !

[Peter J. Alling]

MEs are all metal, one of the selling points when they were introduced 
since the main competition, (Canon AE1s and Minotla I forgets), had 
either plastic top or plastic top and bottom plates.

Actually I should say plastic on top and steel on the bottom. ;-)

Well, that shoots my little theory right down the crapper, doesn't it?
What about ME's (no super)?  

I must confess, I haven't paid much attention, but when I last held an
ME, it seemed pretty hefty for such a smallish camera, and I thought
the top plate felt like metal.  But, maybe it's just a real good
metallic finish over plastic.  What to I know?
I don't know if I've ever held an ME Super.
cheers,

During a war you get to drive tanks through the sides of buildings
