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.

Once upon a time a village lost its idiot. Then the idiot was returned
to the village by people in a remote town. After a while the village
procurement department put out a call for tenders to replace the idiot
with a better model.

Since nobody could provide an idiot acceptable to the village, the
village voted to get their idiot a computer with a low cost internet
access. This would keep the idiot busy and let the village go about its
business in peace and quiet. The low cost account did not have usenet.
And there was not enough money to get a commercial usenet account.
So, they set him up on google newsgroups.

After a while, the village idiot got bored with the internet and would
again wander the streets of the village bothering people. A wise old
guy from the village noticed the idiot would pick up bits of plastic
trash and break them into smithereens. He planted the idea in the
idiots head that cameras made of plastic would be equally fragile and
that the world needed to know about it. He should spread the word via
usenet.

So, the village has its idiot, but keep him well occupied with plastic
ghosts. Unfortunately, the idiot pollutes this and other NG's with
such crap. Fortunately, the idiot posts via googlegroups making it a
simple matter to filter the idiot out. Unfortunately, some people reply
to the idiots posts in any case.

It's an imperfect world.

Allergy - skin sensitivity - to rubber is pretty common, often latex in
natural rubber, but also some synthetic rubbers.

Not Polycabonate but Cashew Nuts. Whenever I buy a camera that is
covered with Cashews my nose breaks out. That's why I am looking for a
Walnut cavered camera. Oh what a dangerous world photographers live
in:-

Polycarbonates have caused cancer, caused banks to fail, incited world wide
terrorism, summoned up the anti-Christ, and wrecked digital photography,
beyond all repair.

Can we get a Constitutional Ammendment to ban Polycarbonates?
