Mine have anti-scratch surface (yes, in my experience glass scratches, too) and anti-reflection coating and are phototropic - and also of a special thin version (high refractive index?) so quite light. All glass - made by Hoya. Similar lenses are available here also from Rodenstock - all glass - but about 50% more expensive than Hoya. I almost bought Zeiss lenses very cheaply from Estonia, but didnīt - they were plastic. All the best! Raimo Photos at http://personal.inet.fi/private/raimo.korhonen > Glass lenses.
