Does anyone know if there is a metal replacement memory card door for the Nikon D850? My plastic one is fine right now, but with as much use as it is getting rignt now, it would be a lot comfortaing to have one out of metal. Although plastic ones are fine for amateur/consumer level cameras, but I really wish Nikon had made metal ones for the professional level models like the D850 like they do for the D5.

I think it would be wrong to make a metal one. If you ever break the plastic door, the body will stay intact, but if the door was metal, then the body could be seriously injured and more expensive to fix than just getting another plastic door.

The D5's is metal, and I think the D4's was too.
