I've not dismantled a modern SLR, but have had a good look at the innards of many a film SLR, most of which look like single piece castings. | |

This is so that the alignment of the flange ring with the imaging plane (sensor or film plane) can be as precise as possible. In all but the EOS 1D X the light boxes of EOS digital cameras are engineering grade polymers (that is, very high tech plastic). Other camera makers are similar. The days of metal light boxes in most camera models disappeared almost 30 years ago. | |
