Well, I don't think there's generally anything wrong with plastic, since we're talking about a system that puts emphasis on light-weight. It always depends on the quality of the materials chosen, though.
And, honestly: when have you really needed a distance scale the last time? I certainly can live without one. Especially with non-landscape lenses.

I fully agree. In fact, I was thinking for a moment that the combo 14/2.5 + 25/1.4 + 45/2.8 would be a nice complete lightweight kit for me.
It is just that this lens has nothing that would justify the price.
