The decorative plate on the lens barrel may come away from the body of the lens. Sony states this does not affect optical performance.
It is recorded here because completeness requires distinguishing cosmetic advisories from functional ones. Severity is recorded on every entry, so a detaching trim plate never contributes to the archive's failure statistics with the same weight as a dead autofocus motor.
Sony offered free inspection and free-of-charge repair for affected lenses, identified by serial number, until 31 March 2024.
