You may need to go to a fixed lens camera.

You'd have apoplexy if you saw what my E-M1 looks like (new in Feb 2014); bare metal showing through everywhere.

A direct result of the fast replacements of modern cameras. Years ago, wear was a badge of honour, it indicated you actually used your equipment. Today, people are paranoid of wear (and lose shots because of it) because they are trying to keep what they know they are going to be selling soon in perfect condition.

Just been to see Bailey's Stardust exhibition in Edinburgh (wonderful images you must see it if you can before end of October) his Pentax camera has more brass than paint!!
