Mine is nicely plated. When I tapped it with a fingernail, it didn't sound/feel
like plated brass to me. I could be
wrong. Experience with another chrome plated, very metal looking mount (on a
much heavier lens) that suffered a moderate
trauma suggests to me that looks may be deceiving.
Panny making a deal about the metal mount on the II page and not mentioning it
on the original suggest they may have
changed it. OTOH, mine weighs within 1/10 of a gram the same as the spec for
the new model, which would suggest no
change from lighter to heavier mount material.
I actually think plastic is the best mount material for such a light lens,
anyway. I'm not scraping or drilling mine to
fine out. :-)
