Slr Camera Digital Lenses can be made of glass or plastics. So why does it matter either way? They are involved pieces of tool and light is particularly sensitive to how it is treated. Furthermore, camera lenses can be made of multiple elements that all work together to supply the desired zoom. This all adds to the complexity and therefore amplifies slight differences in optical potential etc.
Some higher end involved lenses may have 20 or more elements. These are most commonly made of glass, mainly due to its classic optical properties and also because if its relatively good resistance to scratching. Some other materials like Quartz glass, fluorite and varied forms of plastic are also used.
Plastics are often used because they allow the produce of highly aspherical lens elements which are almost impossible to create using glass. Plastics in can facilitate an improved lens produce process and improve the general operation potential of the camera too. While plastic is often used on inner elements, they are only used on the outermost elements of all but the cheapest lenses as they scratch easily.
An indication of their utility is that molded plastic lenses are used in the produce of the cheapest throw-away disposable cameras. Manufacturers of potential optics tend to use substitutes such as "optical resin". While it is true that glass provides for higher potential operation than plastic, many contemporary and high operation lenses from big brand labels include some molded or hybrid aspherical elements.
So if you are deciding on which to go with, glass is pretty much an indication of higher potential relative to plastic. Its properties naturally treat light great and supply a truer picture.
