If you focus it to the closest distance, it is extremely vulnerable and even a relatively light tap on the front filter ring will break the plastic helicoids inside the lens. Just focus at the minimum distance and put your camera and lens on the table, lens side down. Congratulations, you just got a broken lens.
Victim was talking about IF lenses, no?
IF = no expanding elements?
