Is the lens made of glass?

Honestly, I never checked on it. It just has a good, solid, but not heavy feel to it. Doesn't cover a big area when looking on the map but the readability is good and so is the lighting. I haven't had a chance to use it as my trip doesn't start till May, but I've played with it some and seems to be a good item.

Good question. I found this thing too small to be of much use. It works fine and the light is helpful. I would assume if I used it every day, I might get used to it.

As far as I can tell, yes, the lens is glass, and not plastic. I have been pleased with this magnifier which I purchased to read hallmarks on sterling silver. It works well both due to the lighted magnification, but also because it is small and thus fits into tight spaces.

The barrel of this lens is metal, and lenses are of specialized glass. This is a seriously dense and heavy piece of professional hardware. Were it not for the stellar output, I would hate to carry this monster around for hours. Go to flickr and check the pictures out.

As far as I can tell the lens is made of glass. It states it in the product description. the head that holds the magnifier and lamp is plastic and the light does have a covering. I have worked with this type of lamp for many years and am very happy with this purchase. Hope this helps.

Yes there is but I would get a glass one instead of this plastic one. What you look at might not be as clear as a lens made of glass.

Hello, the lens appears to be glass and convex, (tapped on it with a screwdriver to hear the sound) mounted to a plastic housing, very good beam, very nice looking and high quality.

The actual magnifying lens is made of a thick quality glass. The lens covering the light tube is plastic.

thy're made of glass. but the silver reflector has a slight bluish tint than the OEM. but is almost unnoticeable.

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.

Sorry, I am not exactly sure what the lens material is, but they are very crisp, clear and thin. They are not glass but I can't say for sure if they are poly?

No it is not. Yet it is the ultra widest lens on the market as faras I know. Excellent piece of glass for the price.

Probably. These lenses are made of Lexan, which is a polycarbonate plastic. According to Wikepdia: "Polycarbonate is commonly used in eye protection... Polycarbonate lenses also protect the eye from UV light."
