Today I looked in the used camera window of a local shop. There was a
Canon A1 body with sligthly brassing. Hmm, brassing isn´t the rigth
word, underneath the black paint and a thin cooper layer was pure white
shining plastic! 
How solid are the OM´s made! I think, even the cheapest OM-10 has a
metal top cover.
