I know this has been asked some time ago, but I thought I'd see if there's any u pdates. I'm planing on buying a Toyo 45AX/AII, but I have been looking at the Wa lker cameras. They look like they have great specs. for this type of camera. I j ust have a hard time getting past the "plastic" construction. I know it's not ch eap lightweight plastic, but still it's plastic.;-) I just wanted to hear from t hose that have one. In particular is it rigid and smooth in operation. Also they don't seem very popular. I wonder why. Thanks, Ed
