Guess I used the wrong word here. I meant the 45mm 1.8 looks like an old piece of garbage just after 6 months. The ring at the front did break when I mildly hit a shop window with it. Dust is making scratching sounds when focusing. The images it makes are still fine.

The two panasonics (7-14, 20) still look like new in stark contrast. I always carry all three so...

You said initially that the 45 was showing signs of wear OPTICALLY. Obviously a ridiculous statement.

Not necessarily - it's a matter of interpretation.

"Showing signs of wear optically" could be interpreted in either of the following two ways:

1. The lens is starting to look worn (what I imagine the OP meant)

2. The lens is starting to perform worse, optically, than when it was first purchased

I agree, however, that 'optically' is not a good choice of words here since it's ambiguous in when describing a lens, and on a forum discussing camera gear, doubly so.
