Many aspects of their design and manufacture were driven by saving weight and money. Several of my daughter's DX lenses sport plastic bayonets. All have held up surprisingly well. Having said that, I would be more leery of this with a longer, heavier lens such as the 70-300. If you plan on using it a lot, for many years, and perhaps subject it to some abuse, I would recommend the AF-P FX lens. It's not just the bayonet, the rest of the lens appears to be more robustly made.</blockquote>
