I do not know about the inside, but the plastic aperture rings of the
FA* lenses that I own (24/2, 200/2.8, 300/f4.5) with numbers merely
printed on them has always been a nuisance to me. The focusing rings
probably are made of plastic, too. The distance scale windows are
plastic, of course, and what is beneath them it is just some paper with
numbers printed on it, isn't it? However, the weakest point is the
silver barrel colour that is scratched rather easily, as we have
discussed her before.
The limited lenses have none of these weeknesses. Their only "problem"
is that the bigger resistance that they offer for good manual focusing
makes them slow in AF mode (simimlar to the F series lenses).

can anybody tell me how FA* are built compared to Limited lenses? Is there
any plastic in their construction (inside?). Thanks! I am just curious :-)
