Are the filters plastic or glass?

Plastic with a pronounced purple tint that you need to compensate in post processing your raw files. The holder is ok and you can also use higher quality glass filters.

Plastic casing.. Appears to be kdf type material.. Water that has run through the filter has been advised not to be used for aquariums.. Casing is reusable in that the filter material can be replaced (that's my kind of sustainable).. Have not done a refill yet.. Happy so far..Have had mine a year.

Sorry I do not know. They are the same materials as large coffee filters to me.

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 definitely not glass. Made of all plastic. But that's not the most important characteristic. If you have water which is very hard, that is, contains a high number of total dissolved solids (TDS), I would NOT recommend purchase of this item. You will go through filters like water, pun intended. The lowest price we found for Zero Water filters was $112.00 at Amazon for 12 or $9.33 each. Our unfiltered water tests at 345 TDS. We were going through two filters every two weeks! This is an annual cost of $485.16! We switched back to our old Pur water cooler filter system we previously used and are MUCH happier cost wise. I don't know if the Pur water cooler filter system is currently available, however. The water may not be 0 TDS, but neither is our checkbook.

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.

Plastic. They don't look as nice as I would like, but they work really well

Filter is a metal screen and is meant to be reusable. Can easily be removed for cleaning. Unit came with an extra filter (unadvertised).

I believe they are plastic but I am not entirely sure as I bought this as a gift for my daughter last Christmas.

The Capresso a la Carte filter material is plastic and silicone. Have a good day!

They are a clear plastic. Very nice product, looks almost like glass. Used at a wedding reception and looked great!

Wow ! You know Denise.....I never paid attention to the first filter I replaced being glass or plastic?!?! However, I think you are right. These I ordered are plastic and you cannot see through them like the glass ! Thank you for asking this question ! I won't order any more !!!! I am going to try and get my money back !

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

No they are not, they are made out of very thin paper, not great. Ok, If you can't find the original filters, Good luck on your quest :)

I can't remember for sure, I want to say they were in plastic. I'm planning to order again, so check back. I will say I'm world's greatest penny pincher, and I remember it was first quality product. I have 5 large tanks, so I go through a lot of filters...

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.
