p.1 #10 · p.1 #10 · Roger C & Aaron C: a view of reality from the inside. | |
I don't think the semantics of what is considered a "mount" actually matters here.
The overarching point here is that structural components might be metal, or they might be plastic, and their status as one material or another doesn't define their longevity/reliability.
Some plastics have gotten pretty amazing, becoming harder/more durable/longer wearing than many metals. On the other hand, it's certainly possible for metal to perform better. Even among the materials, though, you can't judge without knowing more. What type of metal or plastic is being used? Two lenses next to each other, both with metal mounts, may not even be close in terms of durability if they use different alloys.
Regardless, it's a great article and a good demonstration of how poorly a lot of people understand the terms they believe in or even evangelize.
