I think Nikon developed a series of plastic-encased lenses for that EM era. A
50mm f1.8 was packed with my new FM. The plastic seems to be tough and focuses
easily.
It's possible that my f3.5 35mm-70mm AF zoom Nikkor was also made the same way.
I think only Leica makes their M lenses out of all metal these days. And you
pay an arm and a leg for them.

I have put hundreds of rolls thru an EM and it never failed me. (Great little
back-up camera) But, the meter in my F4 seems far more consistant across
various types of scenes.
