"Oh pls
Plastic is cheap, toy-ish
Plastic is not serious
Plastic isn't durable and will fall-apart soon
overall plastic is a joke, so deal-breaker"
what do you think? is plastic really that bad?
Its funny how people think that plastics are soo bad and that they are prone to failure. When people think of plastic being used in lenses they feel this as somehow reducing the quality built into the lense.
Now if we look at how successful pentax has been with their K7 thru to K1 line of cameras and how little of a problem they have had with those series of cameras, many may be in for a surprise to find out that the major part of the bodies chassis that transfers the load of the lens to the rest of the camera body is composed of plastic
With how little of a problem we have and how rugged they camera is thought of as being from how people think it is all metal construction ,knowing that a major part of the chassis is built from plastic does this make that series of camera any lower quality
