are these filters Plastic or Glass?

They are plastic. In years past I had always had glass in all of my filters, and of course the glass is more durable... and much more expensive than the plastic. After reading several reviews, the reality finally hit me..."How often am I really going to be using these...really?? I decided that it wasn't going to be a great percentage of the time... and when I do, it will be for a specific purpose and series of shots... mostly on a tripod. So the chance of damage is minimized... and I just need to think about what I'm doing... it's not like a skylight or UV where, for the most part, you are leaving it on to protect the lens... ALL of the time. Filter storage is a sturdy fold-over design with hooknloop closure and the filters come in individual clear sleeves that are reuseable if you are careful with them... I have had no problems with the filters getting scratched so far... they are in my kit (3 different diameters to cover my normal lenses and 3 steps ea.) just for the eventuality that I find I am in the situation that I need them... for the price I couldn't beat them. Remember that in the early days of photography, as well as many pro's today, they used gelatin filters ALL the time, not glass.... so yes, they are plastic.

They appear to be glass to me. I tapped on them and they appear to sound and feel like glass. Hadn't thought about it before.

The filters are made of a very high quality plastic with aluminum outer ring. They are very nice and work great!

They are plastic. I have had this for a month now with no problems at all. I don't crank down on the fittings when I tighten them however

Yes, they are Basket Filters. I use them with a little 4-cup "Mr. Coffee" coffee machine. The filters are made of textured paper.

They look like they could be plastic glasses, but they aren't. The set we have is all glass. They are very nice glasses and they have no issues in the dishwasher.

Pretty certain they are plastic, I can't check as they are all inside a lighting project but I am certain they were not ceramic. However, they work great and I am very happy with them.

Plastic, but still very clear :) I keep one African dwarf frog, and do not use the filter. I have had mine about a year and its still beautiful, all my LED' s still work and everything, well worth your money!!

Plastic. Not too bad. They stay on the window, ans hold pretty big drinks. I like them.

They are plastic and it is pretty easy to clean. I just wipe mine out and let it air dry.

ours are definitely plastic, which is what I prefer - in our household glass would break sooner rather than later... these still look very nice, not at all foggy or scratched.

They are plastic, we bought the black ones and you can't tell any difference where the metal ends and the plastic begins. Very easy to install, took about 2 hrs.. but didn't seem like it. Good buy.

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

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

I just went out and checked mine. They are glass. Probably not as thick as OEM but for the price, can't be beat.

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 !

The filter is plastic but it seems pretty durable and has not gotten stained by tea leaves to date.
