1) is the build plastic and metal base or metal and metal? 2) Is this OK for portraiture?

It is primarily a metal lens. There maybe some internal parts that aren't metal or glass, but it is metal on the mount and exterior. I would say that it is a good focal length for portraits, but is a little sharp for such a purpose. Of course, you could always soften things in post.

It's metal. I've used it for one wedding season and have not experience any degradation of performance. Will continue to use it this season.... Don't actually use the lock that much, I "lock" it in unlocked state since I want to get my camera free just by grabbing it

Most of the parts are black, brown or off-white. I would recommend to paint everything, since the colors the plastic are molded in do not look like the real thing. This is especially true when you are spending so much time and money on this model. The extra time spent painting everything is worth it.

I cannot tell from the text whether you are asking "which is it, metal or plastic?" or "which metal and/or plastic is it?" I cannot answer the second, so will do my best with the first. It appears to be non-conductive paint or plastic over a metal shell. I measure electrical continuity between the added weight screw thread (between the elongated cartridge mount holes) and the rear connector mounting. The metal is not iron; it does not attract a magnet. I hope this helps.

Actually, for portrait I really much prefer something like 85mm to have a really nice bokeh and isolation of your subject. A 35mm is awesome to have put not primarily for portrait because you will endup always being so close to your subject that it becomes almost embarassing!

Hey there Wade Guzman. For this MG 00 Raiser, there is no painting required what so ever. The plastic pieces are molded in their correct colors and very few marking seals are added to put the small details in that cant be put there otherwise. All this kit really needs is some panel lining and itll be a stunning addition to your GunPla collection. It sure added some bang to mine :D (ask me back if youd like an explanation of that)

The one I have the tilt is good. I haven't really panned with it, most of what I use it for is setting it up for portrait shots.

Hello Karun747, The main body is metal, and the side or bottom depending how you have it seated is plastic, and in the picture that you see is behind a piece of acrylic or something similar. I hope that answers your question? I have had good luck with it in the few months I have had it.Daniel

I've used for portraits in a pinch. It does the job, but you have to stand back a bit. You're better off using your kit lens if you have it available. Much easier.

For laying the color i'm sure it is fine. For metal or wood, if you want it to last you must use the appropriate primer (Metal) or Bonder (Wood). It will only stick to a surface as well as it can bond to it. (I like my Martini, Shaken not Stirred). Anyway, I have just began to use it with an airbrush. It having such a broad range of colors, allows for simpler blends. Then I will use the stencil with the type of artwork I am using.

The brand is unspecified, but the quality isn't terrible. Its not made from plastic, it's a decent metal and it holds in place very well. I've used it for studio and live purposes just fine. For the bundle price I found it to be worth it, it's as it appears in the picture and arrived in good condition.

This is really good for portraits and macro. I think it will give you a very good performance in museums.

It is mostly made of fairly high grade material. I would not call it plastic, it is a fairly strong material. It would be practically impossible to break this piece. The screw to attach to the camera is metal and some of the parts to hold it in place (it is adjustable) are metal.

It is not that reflective. I use it for portrait photography, and it is good.

Metal. Some of the other parts are plastic and it helps with keeping the lens weight down. Excellent lens.
