Sorry, I failed to include the following statement also told
to me. Some time ago a significant turning point occured in lens
manufacture. It is that the lens mount became more expensive to
make than the optical elements. This might not be the case with
the new lenses having one or more aspherical elements, however.
But the fact is that high prices on lenses are very often due
to the mounts. Ed

I don't know if it is true or not, but I have heard that the very
inexpensive Nikkor "E" lenses are optically the same as the
others, but have plastic mounts.
Any knowledgeable Nikon users out there? Steve Gandy ?
