Yes the aperature control on the 35-70 f3.5~4.5 is plastic
FWIW, while the lens has a lot of plastic in it, and compared to many a
Zuiko to have 'inerior' build quality initially, mine has stood the test
of time. The lens is one of my most used lenses, and it has been on many
a climbing and backpacking trip and still works well. The plastic makes
it very light, and it does not show the abuse as much as the aluminum
does.
