Answer:

I am also wondering about build quality. $700 seems a bit cheap for the Nano coated lenses I have seen. This leads me to think this lens has a plastic mount.
I had hoped the "NikonStaff" could answer this question without calling a phone service, and listing to elevator music while waiting for the next available operator.

Answer:

My cameras (D300, D700, D800) have metal ring mounts. However my question is concerning the lens construction. Like the other guy asking the question I am interested in build quality. This looks like a very useful lens... but I want quality or I pass and get the noisy f/1.8 D instead.

Answer:

DR,

The "feel" of a lens doesn't contribute to the quality of the images. Before criticizing Nikon for the construction materials, perhaps you'd like to actually shoot with this lens. I have shot with it, it is excellent. The quality is fantastic, and as an added bonus, it's not as heavy as some of the older lenses.

Regards

Answer:

Nikon operates factories all across the globe and each operate to the same high standard. While individual cameras are marked with their country of manufacture we can't make a blanket statement about which camera is produced where.

Answer:

The right selection for a lens will depend a lot on the type of photography that you are interesting. Some photographers look for faster lenses (large aperture ex. f/2.8), wide angle, Telephoto, Macro or zoom lenses.
Please click on the link below for the lens simulator; it will help you to make the decision on what lens you need.

Answer:

They are not "designed" to wear out in 10 years. Modern lenses especially those with built in focus motors work alot harder than there older counterparts. More lenses suffer from fungus (high humidity) than those that just wear out.

Is it ten years, or as long as the lens is properly cared for? Specifically, do the wear out easily in ten years, or can they go past our lifetimes?

Answer:

That will depend a lot on the type of care and usage that you give to the lens. We do not have a time frame for how long a lens will last.
