I wasn't under the impression that it was new practice at all. I knew it
had been done before in many cameras. Similarly, I thought that if it
was a major problem in previous cameras we would have heard about it by
now. I would imagine that the type of impact required to cause
misalignment would be quite detrimental to the operation of a camera to
say the least!
Best wishes,
Gareth.
