In the cold, the metal gets slick, the rubber doesn't.
I've got rubber-grip lenses dating back to pre-K/M era ('72-era Nikkors)
and none of them have worn down and gotten slick. The only slick rubber
grip lens I have is the SMC-F 35-70 which came that way, and it was a
cheap hunk of crap even when new.
