plastic innit .. for such a lovely 6x4.5 camera its flawed design, more than material of choice .. it encourages you to hold the camera using the back and with a heavy lens and metered prism finder it creates this cantilever structure and eventually breaks; because plastic

This is from a Mamiya 645 Pro, right?
Not sure what you mean when you say it encourages you to hold the camera using the back, the only way I hold these is with two hands, one on the right side and one on the left, rather in front, to focus the lens.

1st pic: Is how it should be picked up, weird to hold like that
2nd pic: the 'thumb' tab to take the back off(?) but encourages (me) to pick up using that
3rd pic: Is how I pick up

Maybe I am stupid?
