Is the base of the lens (the screw-on part) plastic or metal?

All Pentax lens with a plastic mount begin with a DAL designation. Those that begin with a DA designation have a metal mount. This is a DA or metal mount.

Part plastic but the screw-on part has metal flanges so I'm comfortable with the construction. It is an amazing lens, with great sharpness at 200mm or more. It is also great for floral closeups. Definitely better than the old DA 50-200. I wouldn't part with it and I recommend it highly. One of Pentax better lenses. Freddy B

I presume you mean the stop-screw that can be seen at 9 O'Clock in the image here (since the main lens fittings are all bayonet fittings). I think it's either 1mm 0.25 pitch or 0.8mm 0.2 ptich.

it is a little metal part, but seems to me that this part is attached to the plastic cage of the camera. not to robust though... SEEMS TO ME...

Sorry, all the inexpensive lenses are plastic. Just be careful you do not place them lens down on a surface.

Plastic. But replacing them was not much more than getting a professional to clean the fog from the lenses.

The frame feels and looks like powder-coated aluminum. As to whether the lens is glass or plastic, I can't tell.

The adapter is made of metal. I will have to measure it tomorrow. It fits easily between the the lenses and screws into the threaded bolt the holds the lenses together at the pivot point. If the screw that attaches the mount to the binoculars was a couple of threads longer would make the mounting better.

Because the lens is light I'd guess it was plastic but that's only a guess. It's installed now so I can't check. It's working fine whatever the material.

Both. a Metal Plate screwed into the body of the lens. a Plastic ring protrudes out the center of that plate and engages the camera body. The plastic ring has metal connectors which come out its sides to engage the camera.

Majorly of plastic. The uv lens has a tendency to reflect back light. I don't use it. But it's still a great product and a must have in your lens kit!

This one is plastic. I have had it mounted for several months and found it very durable.

Don't think so. Amazon said it was but was missing the metal thing in housing. Very upsetting since I think it damaged a lens. If you look close at the picture it shows a piece of metal hanging down from top. Sure enough it was MIA. Hope this helps!

The base is metal ... other parts plastic. I use mine most days of the week and it does a great job.

I believe the head that connects to the camera is plastic. There are aluminum parts, but the main portion is good quality plastic. The remainer of the mechanism is plastic.

Negative, it is made of pretty strong plastic, mine however had uneven threads and had to be glued back together, twice, I replaced it with a nikon!!

Plastic. The entire housing is made of the same stuff, aside from the inside reflector and the mount.

The actual lens? Or the material that holds the lens? Everything in this set is metal. Hard for me to tell if the lens is glass or plastic. But it works pretty well.... only really good for far away telephoto type stuff.
