The answer to the question why Zeiss went from polymer to magnesium is one and one only: sales.
When we went seriously into optics I asked the 3 alpha's what in their opinion was their strong point towards the competition.
Zeiss answer was: "We have a superior housing. It is lighter, stronger and much more gasproof than magnesium, which is inferior in all three aspects".
When Zeiss went from polymer to magnesium, I asked them why they did and the answer was: "polymer housings don't sell. The customer wants magnesium housings!!".
