[QUOTE="§am, post: 144465, member: 9187"] I did a quickish search on the internet and came up with a few references to the use of plastic elements in lens construction (one of the links already posted above is direct from Nikon's website). To my mind though, what Nikon lenses aren't are full plastic lens elements - i.e. you won't get a Nikon lens where all the optical parts are plastic/resin elements. Yes you'll get the hybrids where there are plastic/resin elements to the lens construction (e.g. a resin coating, or a resin gel to combine two elements together etc), but from the quick research I've done, the vasy majority of Nikon lenses are predominantly composed of glass elements :) Daredevil123 - you may have signed NDA's etc, but if the information is out there and accessible via internet searches etc, then there is no reason why you can't link to them. Yes, if your NDA specifies you cannot link direct to this webpage, then so be it, otherwise, please do enlighten us a little more. Like I said, a few mins of research has already thrown up links and articles supporting the fact :) [/QUOTE]
