What is the back of the lens made of, glass or metal?

Glass. These are PAR bulbs - Parabolic Aluminized Reflector. The back of the bulb has a thin coating of aluminum that acts as a reflector.

Plastic. What I did before installation was I put 3M protective film on the lens. No cracks or nicks.

my cannon ones are metal. solid construction !!! tight fit between rings. 4 rings total including the mount ring to which the other rings thread onto. the lens mount ring is permanently attached to one side of Ring #2. lots of fun if you don't mind manual tubes. cheers.

Everything is metal except the lens - the cap, the base, etc. - all metal. It's been a year now since I installed them, and the dog has shown no interest - she can't chew them up like she did the older, plastic lights. I'm still satisfied with these lights as I was a year ago.

Glass with metal frame and metal top handle. We love this product and highly recommend it. We use it almost every day.

Majorly of plastic. The uv lens has a tendency to reflect back light. I don't use it. But it's still a great product and a must have in your lens kit!

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

Bill I `ll try to answer in english ( because I live in Brazil). The front and the top are made is aluminum (black anodized) the back is a solid material that I cannot specify. Is a very solid camera. I found this interesting comment: http://www.slashgear.com/olympus-stylus-xz-2-review-13256851/. I love my Olympus because the macro ( 1 cm focus) and the sharp lens (F 1.8). Good pictures.

Thin metal less than 2 mm. Note that the picture when on does not go to edge of glass. There is an approx 1 cm black edge

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.

Because the lens is light I'd guess it was plastic but that's only a guess. It's installed now so I can't check. It's working fine whatever the material.

It is a metal or hard teflon type material. Fits well, though I bought a HOYA 58mm uv lens and the fit is not good at all.When you eventually get it on you dont want to keep taking it off. I would go to a regular camera store with my camera next time, maybe a bit more expensive but you can see what you are getting.

It is metal. The whole thing is solid design with smooth bearing motion. I have used it with three different size cameras and it is easy to adjust for each.

Hello, the lens appears to be glass and convex, (tapped on it with a screwdriver to hear the sound) mounted to a plastic housing, very good beam, very nice looking and high quality.
