... and the 30-110 is a telezoom lens
Usually I don't mind a bit of dust, but here were fibers involved of which I have no idea how they made it to the inside - I mean, I could not open the front group.
In terms of lenshood I agree, it is a good bump protector and much better than filters.
I got a second 1 V2 with three lenses. Before I got the 1 V2 with 10-100 (that one has a metal barrel as Zoom ring) and the 70-300 (again, metal barrel). The kit lenses are a different league (not surprisingly). And I don't see metal as superior in each case, I even admire the design work involved in the housing and functions - but the tolerances are huge because else it would not work.
On second thought, the smaller the sensor, the shorter the FL and the sooner dust particles of a certain size (and close to the sensor) can appear, when aperture is stopped down. Anyway, the 10-100 (the non-PD version) appears to be better made, so I would not use the plasticky 30-110 anyway. And I was curious about it's inner structure.
And of course, Marcus, I opened up every lens in my posession to check wether it's plastic or not . As you apparently also did because you know things like "Screws going into plastic constructions is the rule..."
On a more serious base: Could you explain why so many Z-glass (14-30, 24-70) needs to be extended first before you can use it? Can't imagine this to be cheaper or more reliable than a body in the "extended" size already would be. More compact? Yes, but regarding the 14-30 I usuallly turn it in the wrong direction to make it transport ready.
