Poor fellow thinks it's nickel.
Google doesn't seem to know about a polycarbonate allergy. Is there
such a thing?
Nickle is used to make some types of stainless steel... Pentax uses a
stainless steel chassis and lensmount.
Which has what to do with "Polycarbonate claims another victim"?
Some people to respond unfavourably to long term contact with heavy
metals - e.g. Stainless steel watch bands - but the necessary lengthy
contact is unlikely to occur with a camera and certainly wouldn't
occur if the camera is coated with rubber or plastic.
Allergy - skin sensitivity - to rubber is pretty common, often latex in
natural rubber,
My dad had this problem - that's why I am a poor b*****d..;-)
