This a lens is made of metal, some plastic and the optical elements are, of course made of glass. If you go in a store and take a look you will see that it is a sturdy lens worth every penny it costs

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.

These are top-quality lens you would expect from Nikon. You should read the specs rather than try to deduce specs from pictures.

The lenses are plastic. They make a huge difference when the original lenses are almost 20 years old.

I remember having a detachable lens hood ( as shown in the picture on Amazon), a lens cap, and a soft pouch to store the lens (hood detached). There is a generic Pentax lens manual, I have several Pentax lenses, so I didn't even look at the manual.I assume you are talking about a new lens, obviously a used lens may be missing something.

Yes, I think the lens is glass, although I didn't touch it much to be sure because I didn't want to get fingerprints on it. There were no tools or instructions. I just looked up a video on YouTube that was pretty easy to follow. Hope this helps.

The scope housing is made from aluminum. It's a bit heavy because there is a glass prism inside allowing for better optics and a more compact design.

is the polish a protector? I was hoping for a few years not months...after all the car is 16 years old and this is the first time i need to do them and they are not that bad, kind of like the beginning. My lens are not yellow in anyway, just dull. Looking forward to "new lens".

Yes the lens the top is made from glass and is so easy to repleace it becouse is stick with double tape so just heat it up with hair dryer and u can take it out and repleace it in same way with double tape or u can use glue as well

I can't remember who supplied it but mine is. I would definitely contact the company that is selling it to be 100% sure. Also check your glass when you get it, my lens had a small crack or mold in it; had to return it.

It is just a plastic hood,I think a lens glass can still fit under it as the threads are still clear with the hood on the lens

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.

Frank, I think you hit the nail on the head...that is, it appears that way to enhance the fact that it's glass. The lens is actually very clear. Thanks for the question.

The lens is of good quality im not sure if it is glass or not. I believe it is. There are no instructions and there is no extra double sided tape to hold the glass down to the assembly. Things to consider before you start you repairs. I put a dab of elmer's to give it a proper hold. It seems to be working okay... but i would replace whatever you are going to replace soon because I think my lens got some mold on on it...

It is plastic. For the price I am happy. Even with a long lens the locks hold. It would not be suitable for a professional.

...metal & plastic, but this doesn't mean is sturdy. ...on mine the screw on the Quick Release Plate became lose after 2-3 times using it with a regular DSLR and not the heaviest lens at all... The seller NEVER REPLIED to my questions!I won't buy it again!LM

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.

Dear Larry, Thanks for your inquiry and sorry for the inconvenience this may have caused to you. Sorry to tell you that our former batches had harden glass lens,but it is proved that it is not safe for the people who will install or replace the lights,so we afterwards improved the lens from glass to toughened PVC which is more harder and more durable than glass,but we forgot to revise the product discription. So actually the lens of the lights you ordered are made of toughened PVC but not glass,but it is much better than glass. And we will correct the product discription soon. In this case,would you like to keep the lights? If not,please tell us your amazon order number,we will email you with solution soon once you have confirmed. Hope you can understand and that we can hear from you soon so that we can assist you promptly. Sorry again for all the inconvenience this may have caused to you and thanks for your kind understanding. Regards, Bingomama

They are machine screws. They come in and out but are tight and don't let water in. What the screws do is they hold the black seal onto the housing. In other words they hold on the lense. This was considered old now because the standard housing has the same exact screws just on the inside. Get this housing it's awesome. Your case( if you look on inside) you should see screws. It's the same on this just on the outside to attach or hold on the lense. If you have any more questions feel free to ask
