The 400mm f2.8 is a bit of a beast as far as weight is concerned and there is a bit of a selective market for it.

Aluminium forms a thin oxide layer immediately it is exposed to oxygen - so all regular aluminium surfaces are "oxidised".

I would have thought the issue is more likely to be galvanic corrosion due to the use of other metals in contact with the aluminium or just a poor choice of material in the first place.

If indeed, that is the source of the noise - lenses aren't THAT difficult to disassemble, I'd be tempted to take it apart and clean / lubricate.

I agree it is a poor choice of material in this and other SWM lenses.  I would have thought that a different metal or a plastic covering would be useful alternative.
