Which is obvoius nonsens. Practicaly all Zuikos are metal-and-glass-only
constructions, only a few exeptions use plastic parts (usualy cheaper
lenses like new 50mm/1.8 or 35-70mm/3.5-4.5). The make quality of Zuikos
is usualy above the average in the industry.

Mine do not. Even the "plastic lenses" are very solid, at least compared
with most contemporary AF lenses.

I haven´t heard of "ruggedness" problems with Zuikos.
There a new "low price" Zeiss lenses with plastic bodies, the don´t look
like child toys, just a remark to "chintzy plastic construction".
