It is primarily a metal lens. There maybe some internal parts that aren't metal or glass, but it is metal on the mount and exterior. I would say that it is a good focal length for portraits, but is a little sharp for such a purpose. Of course, you could always soften things in post.

Build is mainly Metal. As for Portraiture it is good as have used it on several occasions, where there being many photographers and found the 100mm was good in that close up without fightning with others.

Feels heavy like it is a metal frame inside but is all plastic exterior, I bought it for slow motion video capabilities and it can capture air rifle pellets in flight. I was actually using it this weekend to take pictures on a boat trip and in auto mode it just seems to take a great picturenevery time and even with heavy zoom... Love this little point and shoot, I have a high end nikon and rarely grab it anymore.

It is not plastic, it is metal. But I would not recommend it anyway. The metal main body cracked on me. I do not know why - I did not overload it at all. I just noticed once that there was a crack there. It is still usable, but I will buy another.

sorry not sure but I believe it is for taking a picture converting to its format and carving the image on wood or metal

It is not that reflective. I use it for portrait photography, and it is good.

Ir is Plastic, I don't know what kind of project you have. But there is not much space underneath, unless you fix it in the border. There is about aone centimeter around it. Other than that in the middle, it probably will touch the gear that makes movement. The piece is good and works well, but it is intended fork light objects and I hope you are not planing to use for smithing heavy

I cannot tell from the text whether you are asking "which is it, metal or plastic?" or "which metal and/or plastic is it?" I cannot answer the second, so will do my best with the first. It appears to be non-conductive paint or plastic over a metal shell. I measure electrical continuity between the added weight screw thread (between the elongated cartridge mount holes) and the rear connector mounting. The metal is not iron; it does not attract a magnet. I hope this helps.

Yes, it is metal and really gives a professional, finished look to the job. I bought eight about six months ago.

It's all metal except for 1 part, but it is for accessories only. It will not support the weight of an SLR reliably. I use it strictly for mounting a microphone.

It's not a very hard build. That is, not a lot of pieces. It's Revell so expect a few parts to need extra attention. Models are not for the impatient. Stick with Snaptite.

It is metal. And it worked great for me. No issues. However, I think this one is too short to mount an optic to.

Yes it is great for making copies, and the mold's material means that you don't need to use a non-sticking agent. But I should warn you that very fine details in faces and weapon can be lost in the copies. So this might not be ideal unless you are able to add small details later, or you are using this to make mass copies of rank and file models with are not front and center.

If I understand your question then it is plastic. The piece and the end of the metal rod, right? I have to admit, since I bought it I bought a second for work, it is the best quality press I have owned. Let me know if you have any other qs

If you are low on patience, do not attention this build. It is for advanced model freaks. I believe it is level 3. Make sure you have the time and the right tools before you tackle this one if you want a project you can be proud of.

Metal. These are fairly well-made and have served well as both extra lighting in a jewelry workshop and for studio photo setup. Good value.

This could be a tough one to air brush details after it is assembled. But airbrushing base colors on the hull and deck, and then airbrushing the individual guns, etc. could be possible. Use the right type of paint for the plastic models. I have used thinned testors enamels (oil based) with good luck. Harder to clean up then acrylics (water based), but I like the look better.
