Pal, with all due respect, you must be very hard on your equipment. Also,
mine has a metal filter mount; the depth of field glass has never come off.
Rarely does the power zoom not work, and it has always been the result of
dirt in the system (took it in for CLA once; they just blew it off. Now I do
it myself.) As for the button, I have never had this problem, nor the
aperture problem you describe. How cold is it in your country? Could this be
the result of temperature? It is true that the power zoom does struggle if
the camera is pointed directly up or down, but that has never been a big
problem for me; just turn the power zoom off. Maybe you had a very early
version; the others I have seen also had metal threads (with a very well
made plastic tube for the front barrel).
