The way most people baby their lenses it doesn't matter whether it's plastic, metal or kryptonite, they're going to last a lifetime either way. Granted, some people are much harder on their lenses than others but by and large most of us treat our lenses with the utmost care and most will last longer than we will.  And while the newer Nikkor lenses are made of plastic, the fact is their optics blow away the lenses of the past. Lens design has come a long way in the past 8 yrs and I'd much rather have a sharper, finer lens made of plastic vs. a hefty metallic lens with sup-optimal optics.</blockquote>
