If you don't want to read the whole article, just read the last section "Conclusions and Impressions".
Very impressive indeed.
I particularly like what he says about metal vs plastic:
"There are some of you who are going to scream about how you want metal lenses. OK, Boomer, go get you a metal lens and show us how strong you are. On every other 70-200mm lenses we’ve disassembled, there are multiple metal parts that we can bend with our fingers. There’s not a damn thing we can bend with our fingers in this bad boy. This is going to hold up better than a metal lens, it’s probably sturdier, and it weighs far less."
