Mine is nicely plated. When I tapped it with a fingernail, it didn't sound/feel 
like plated brass to me. I could be 
wrong. Experience with another chrome plated, very metal looking mount (on a 
much heavier lens) that suffered a moderate 
trauma suggests to me that looks may be deceiving.

Panny making a deal about the metal mount on the II page and not mentioning it 
on the original suggest they may have 
changed it. OTOH, mine weighs within 1/10 of a gram the same as the spec for 
the new model, which would suggest no 
change from lighter to heavier mount material.

I actually think plastic is the best mount material for such a light lens, 
anyway. I'm not scraping or drilling mine to 
fine out. :-)
