Are these filters made of glass or plastic?

I bought these as a gift so I don't know personally. The Tiffen website say this about the 52MM VARIABLE NEUTRAL DENSITY FILTER: "Made with high quality optical glass using Tiffen's ColorCore™ technology".B & H photo says this under the description of the Tiffen 52mm 3.0 Neutral Density Filter: "This filter is made using ColorCore technology, a process that involves laminating the filter substrate between 2 pieces of optical glass, grinding flat to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch, and then mounting to precision metal rings."

They are glass filters. Nice case for them also. I do not use them with a SLR but I use them for aerial photography with a GoPro which makes them a bit heavy with a gimbal but still usable.

The lenses are glass, and the housing is aluminum. I don't remember much plastic on these.

I've used these filters for at least 10 years. Never had a problem from the plastic clamps. I do give them one last squeeze with a pair of pliers when assembling. Don't be Hercules though! LOL

The casing of the filters are plastic. The tank is stainless steel. I think that the plastic is safe because it has to endure high pressure. I believe that the tank is the most important part. You will be using the water int he tank first

They are plastic. It is kind of thin so be gentle with them. I have made 3 batches with them and they are still holding up.

They are the paper filters that fit in the filter holder. They are corrugated(folded) on circumference and flat on the bottom.

I believe they are Polymer, too light to be glass & a good buy for the money...JMO...I keep a pair on my book case & one on the garage work bench and a pair out in my shed...lol...

They're plastic lenses. My husband absolutely loves them. They're perfect for fishing with the polarized lenses.

I buy these disposable ones they are plastic and they ARE the filter. They work great for me. Can use one for a whole pack or more.

I recently purchased this machine and can tell you that the filter holder is a very sturdy clear plastic. Hope this helps !

The inside and outside are the same, and I believe the filter is stainless steel as well. The only plastic is the black part.

Yes, they are Basket Filters. I use them with a little 4-cup "Mr. Coffee" coffee machine. The filters are made of textured paper.

I'm not sure. There is a thin, dark sheet inside the filters--but I'm not sure what it is made of. Hope this helps. The interior sheet is about an inch smaller than the filter and appears to have a rough texture.
