>>3246713Holy shit, you do realize there are thousands upon thousands of types of plastics, right? Also, you have personally disassembled those lenses and analyzed the composition of the materials used? And you happen to know how this just announced lens (that isn't even in production yet) is made? Fuck off.
I live in Finland, where the temperature is currently at around -25 centigrade. I've used all of my gear from most major brands all year round in all types of weather. Never EVER have I had any issues with cold making plastics on my shit brittle or damaging any of my equipment, and I don't baby my stuff either.
It's so amazing that there's always some internet experts who just happens to know better than billion dollar companies that actually makes this stuff.
>>3246710Pretty much, there's the Voigtländer 40/2, but it's manual focus and not very readily available. But don't worry, the 35/2 af-d is pretty good for the price, I have one of those. The bokeh can be a bit nervous at some cases, pic related.
