Lenses are a long term investment, at least they used to be, plastic on
a bearing surface implies the opposite. No matter what plasticizers
are lost over time and the material becomes brittle and subject to
cracking. Eventually something important will break. Heat will
exacerbate this process. If the lens was cheap enough to be disposable
that would be fine but it's not really.

Come on Pentax! How else are you shaving costs? Talk about making

I have no complaints with the nice crisp images coming from my all-plastic DA
35 f2.4. It seems to be holding up quite well and frankly I don't give a rat's
patootie what the mount is made of as long as it works. And it does.

Don't lose heart! They might want to cut it out, and they'll want to avoid a
lengthily search.
