[Klaus]

Klaus, just about half of the Sony E 10-18mm lens tests I have seen say something along the lines: "the lens is clad in high quality plastic, including the filter threads", the other half, including you, say: "It has an all-metal body". Could you please confirm that the lens has all metal body? Thanks!

 

Well, the outer shell is made of metal - I didn't use a metal detector here to check but it just 'feels' like it is metal. Some inner portions are certainly made of plastics. The lens front enclosure is plastics but this quite normal across the manufacturers I'd say - but this is something you normally don't touch anyway. I can't remember whether the filter thread is metal or plastics but it's likely that it is plastics (like on the 35/1.8).
