Not all plastic is bad. I've used Paterson for a looooong time, both 35mm
and 120 films. No problems whatsoever. As a matter of fact, I went to
Paterson from Nikor, since I thought the Paterson easier to use. People and
preferences are different, I guess ;)
The films (the 35mm sort, that is) mostly come through the OM
equipment.....
