Is the lens plastic or tempered glass?

It appears to be clear glass... No noticeable change in 3 months of use. Very good quality overall and incredibly bright.

Our brand are made of hard plastic which is very strong, i used hammer to hit 10 hard times but still can't break. Other seller here have cheaper lens.

The lens was glass and is good quality. It actually looks as if it came from the factory.

Only the lenses are glass! All else is very hard palmer type plastic. I think it is a pretty good night scope for the price. You get what you pay for when it comes to night scopes. Don't buy it and expect perfection.

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

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.

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

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.

Hi Leslie. It's not glass, but a very good kind of acrylic or plastic (very clear). The image quality is very good indeed. In my case 3X Magnification is perfect (I tried 2X and 5X and none were the right ones). Additionally the size of the lens is really good (not too big and not too small) The only thing I don't like much is the way it opens. But I can't say anything bad about the image quality. Hope this helps! If any other doubt, just ask :)

The lens is actually a polycarbonate which is a optical quality material and virtually unbreakable. It is actually a lighter and more expensive material than glass.

They are glass lens and metal frame, but be careful, once you scratch it, you'll have to get another one.

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.

Sorry but I don't think I can give you a definitive answer. I thought it had a glass lens but I just went and looked and I can't tell for sure. Whatever it is, it was a good match for my needs and much less than the dealer wanted to charge.

The lens is molded optical plastic. This makes the magnifier lighter. The only down side is that the lens will scratch easier. But you should be careful with any optical device!

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

It is plastic, but of very bad quality. after few uses it became all cloudy.
