Top plate appears to be aluminium (aluminum if you must). Fairly  
heavy too. Back door, baseplate and lens mount surround are plastic.  
Chassis is mix of aluminium and steel. In it's Voigtlander  
incarnations, the top plate was plastic in the early versions and  
brass in the later ones, like the R2a and 3a. Don't know about the  
Nikon FM10 and Vivitar siblings. Mechanically it feels loud and crude  
and things like the self-timer feel fragile but it is a pretty design.
