Is this lens breakable?

I don't think so. You would have to really abuse it to break it. I have dropped mine and it did not break.

I would say nothing is indestructible. However it is a child's toy it's not a glass lens. I would say with normal use it will not break

I've had my camera in and out of the case many times and the lens is still crystal clear. I think it would take a bit of abuse, other than a camera case, to scratch this lens. Very tough and great protection.

Yes it is. Its a very helpful tool (I'm in the electronics industry and I use it to look at solder joints; PCB workmanship etc). The only downside is that the lens can be easily cracked if you're not careful; so, keep it in a safe place when not in use.

I have this fine lens for several years. There are many parts inside this lens, of glass and of metal. Nothing rattles.NIKON has an excellent repair service. I recommend calling them.

The hood is just out-of-frame, so I rarely find myself wanting to remove it, but yes, it's easily removeable by twisting it off. It's a feature Opteka added to the newer version of the lens, which is this one.

No. Not sturdy enough. The lenses are OK for penetration protection, but are very flexible at the edges and would be suitable for heavy object impact. Not for use around heavy equipment.

No the part where the lens goes is fairly rigid and I don't think it would allow you to grip it tight enough to torn the zoom.

I don't think I would attempt this. It's takes a great deal of skill to dissemble and reassemble a lens. There is also the fact that some lens are coated on the inside and require special cleaners. This work is usually done in a dust free environment. Just my thoughts, Frankn

Yes, this one is a new lens and the seller is very courteous and responsive. Regarding warranty, I thankfully haven't had a situation to get into those conversations.

No,the lens is solid from the time I got it. I had for a few years now and love it.

I would not recommend this lens at all whatsoever. It is poorly made. My lens was cloudy, one of the rings was free spinning with no threaded attachment, and would not mount up properly. I would say-AVOID this one.

Never. Would not think it possible, unless a defective item. And it does happen. Used to not. But nowadays, most things suffer. Get it serviced. Lens is very simple in design and believe by nature it could not stick unless defective.

One of mine became stuck on the lens and I worked it loose using slow but firm pressure. With the lens still attached to the adapter, you might have a little more leverage. A camera repair person might anchor the camera in a vice and dislodge the adapter with a screw driver and hammer...but VERY, VERY carefully. It's not something I would try unless you are really comfortable around tools. Wish I could be of more help.

Yes. Only annoying thing about this lens is that when you powered the camera, there is a rattling sound in reside the lens. It is not a defect from the manufacturer. Other than that it is a beautiful lens.

Hi,My lens is currently in for repair because the zoom actually broke one time when I tried to turn it. I found that mine got worse over time. If you've had it more than a couple months you probably won't be able to return it (I ordered mine from Amazon w/fulfillment through 47th St. Photo). But if it is less than a year old Sigma will repair it for free. Hope that helps!
