Very good, but...

Re: Very good, but...

I am relieved there will be plastic barrels going forwards with M lenses. The metal barrels are as solid as coke cans, and a single drop will cause plastic deformation even of the focus ring, which is thicker. The anodized finish is also super smooth and difficult to grip on to.

I much prefer the usual lens build (cf EF 40/2.8) because it is far more robust, has an unbelievably smooth focus ring action, and easy to grip.
