Is the lens plastic or glass?

It seems lightweight and appears to me to be plastic. Does not sound like glass when it tap it. It works good for crafts. Hope this helps.

I'm pretty sure the lens is plastic. It is very light weight. I have found it to work very well for my close-up beadwork

It's plastic but good quality with a small (nickel) size area for even higher mag.

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.

Sorry, all the inexpensive lenses are plastic. Just be careful you do not place them lens down on a surface.

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

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.

Its plastic but very clear and reflective. Much better than the older one I had.

The lenses appear to be glass, the case is plastic.I will add that this has been a very worthwhile addition for night spotting out to 100 yards.

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.

As far as I can tell, yes, the lens is glass, and not plastic. I have been pleased with this magnifier which I purchased to read hallmarks on sterling silver. It works well both due to the lighted magnification, but also because it is small and thus fits into tight spaces.

Plastic... and it scratches easy and gets hazy over time. Does not affect performance but its not pretty.

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

Yes these lenses are glass. My right side shattered from a rock. I picked up a shard and it was definitely glass.

It appears to be glass, however I have not broken one so I cannot tell. They seem to heavy for plastic.

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

The lenses are pretty good quality much like ones your find in regular sunglasses. They are not glass but a quality plastic.

I never thought about what the lens is made of. It is an excellent loupe and I am very satisfied with it. Since you asked, I looked at it and it appears that the entire loupe is made of plastic. Keep in mind, I also wear a $400.00 pair of bi-focal glasses that have lenses made of plastic. Nothing wrong with plastic. The Carson Loupe is a top quality product and I'm very satisfied with it.
