Is the lens rare end made of metal rim or plastic?

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.

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.

It appears to be aluminum. This is a very well made tripod and would say that it is heavy enough to hold your binocular. It is easy to use and is very stable.

Rim is plastic, beadlock ring is aluminum. I've ran these for a long time and the plastic is very durable.

It is not any better other than it in not broken. It took quite an effort for my ring to get cracked. I have used the repaired lens with the plastic mount for nearly a year now without any issues. Good luck. (it was much better and cheaper than a new lens.)It took me about 1 hour to replace it. -- tiny springs and screws -- 7 screws if I remember.

I got the "silver" one because it's steel. The other may be aluminum. I don't know. My adapter was well made and fit my Canon 5D MkII and the lens, a Helios 58mm f2.0.

The lens I have are glass, and metal rings. They can turn for different effects.

Hi Katie: The scope is made of metal, has protective plastic caps for front and rear lenses. I think I paid about the same price for a simular scope about 15 years ago, which I accidendly bumped really hard and ruined it, I feel it's a great scope for the price and for my needs, I have it mounted on my 22 LR. Remminton Semi automatic rifle. with some slight lense adjustments it was ready to go. Joe.

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 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.

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

I think it is plastic but seems to be a good grade of plastic. I have had mine for more than a year and it still looks new. I went back and looked this up and it says GLASS Extra-large 7.5" x 6.25" rectangular glass lens, optical-quality 5-diopter magnification

The lens is definitely glass. I recalled the casing being metallic of some sort but I just inspected it and it appears the top is a hard plastic around the glass lens. I'm still pretty sure the base has metal, but I can't tell without digging it out.

Mine seens to be the same material of the filter rim. Touched with a knife and feels like metal.

My son really likes this microscope. I am not positive but it looks like the Base and body are plastic and the rest is metal. The parts that hold the lenses are definitely metal. Hope this helps. It works great

The filter is good glass and the rim is metal. Absolutly reliable (they are Agfa, made with Japan optics); I usually take pictures along mountain paths or doing trekking.
