Does this lens have a plastic bayonet mount or metal?

The bayonet mounting ring is metal. The lens mounts not quite as smoothly as my 24-120mm zoom but has been on and off dozens of times and always seems to take great pictures.

The barrel of this lens is metal, and lenses are of specialized glass. This is a seriously dense and heavy piece of professional hardware. Were it not for the stellar output, I would hate to carry this monster around for hours. Go to flickr and check the pictures out.

Metal...BUT, the camera screws onto the post, very awkward to have to screw a small camera onto the post when mounted, most have the post screw into the camera, bass akward IMHO.

No metal around lens. Bridge is same color as lens. 52 is the size, I believe Rec A is just a style # but not sure.

The VF-4 is plastic, not metal, but given that, it has been holding up well for me. No issues or signs of fragility. I like the lock that Olympus has added--the earlier model I owned just slid on and off the hotshoe, and would often slip off. The VF-4 fixes that issue and provides a better image as well. Pricey, but I'm happy with it.

The lens is definitely glass. I recalled the casing being metallic of some sort but I just inspected it and it appears the top is a hard plastic around the glass lens. I'm still pretty sure the base has metal, but I can't tell without digging it out.

Mount screws in and the hood is bayonet on to the mount. You can put the lens cap into the mount still or any other 58mm attachments like filters etc.

It is a metal or hard teflon type material. Fits well, though I bought a HOYA 58mm uv lens and the fit is not good at all.When you eventually get it on you dont want to keep taking it off. I would go to a regular camera store with my camera next time, maybe a bit more expensive but you can see what you are getting.

Yes it Fit the lens perfectly well and is great for sunny day shots. and I keep it right on the lens to protect it. for the value....It rocks ! My feeling in regards to the bayonet is that the bayonet style hood...would block out too much light ....this Petal style lets in more light and thus creating less vignetting and shadows.

Yes. Keep in mind this lens in plastic. It does not have the metal connection ring.

I presume you mean the stop-screw that can be seen at 9 O'Clock in the image here (since the main lens fittings are all bayonet fittings). I think it's either 1mm 0.25 pitch or 0.8mm 0.2 ptich.

Correction: I think the difference is in the way it connects to the lens. The bayonet types just affix to the lens with a push and 25 degree rotation. The screw on hoods go on like screwing a cap on a jar.

Metal. I like it a lot. When the flash rides on top, you can shoot a horizontal or vertical picture and they come out great.

Yes, the entire thing is metal. The screw knob and the cylinder side next to the binoculars are both approx. 1/2 inch. The screw knob is a little hard to turn due to the confined space between the binocular's barrels, but this is probably true with any mount. As far as I know, this is the sturdiest mount on the market.

All Pentax lens with a plastic mount begin with a DAL designation. Those that begin with a DA designation have a metal mount. This is a DA or metal mount.

Body Metal, some parts are plastic. it's a decent scope,, you can actually see very well. I've used it to look at cells w the kids and I could see clearly.

Part of the mount is metal and part plastic. I have put a 3X4 soft box on mine and it handled it with out any issues. The light is actually surprising robust.
