When recommending lenses to customers, we consider their needs and lifestyle. Glass lenses are good for severe vision correction and multifocal needs due to their refractive index. Plastic lenses, on the other hand, are lightweight and impact-resistant, making them ideal for active individuals like children and athletes. Glass lenses offer scratch resistance and style options, while plastic lenses need less maintenance but may be less durable.

“Turbulence” 2018. Canon EOS M, 22mm f/2 STM. In my opinion, the EOS M original is not well suited to action shots due to its turtle slow AF. But a shot like this is easy for the M 🙂

The 18mp EOS M was praised for its APS-C sized sensor and image quality but criticized for its slow, subpar AF. Not what Canon fans expected.

Looking on these pics now, it does make me think quite hard about how I might acquire one of the new full frame mirrorless bodies from either Canon or Nikon 😊

But don’t sweat it folks. I stand by my statements that I no longer crave the latest and greatest but that doesn’t mean I wouldn’t consider the new cameras once the prices come down 😀

There is something great about the older EOS M and you know what that is? Despite its slowish AF, the camera is capable of excellent images and…It can be found on the used market for MUCH cheaper than the new EOS R! Have a great day good peeps!

“Boy Wonder” 2018. Canon EOS M, 22mm f/2 STM. The 22mm f/2 STM is capable of nice portraits with good bokeh, provided your get in close and your subject can stay still for the shot 🙂

Glass lenses are superior in terms of clarity due to their higher refractive index range and dispersion properties, which enhance the wearer’s vision quality.

Eyewear technology has evolved in the 21st century, offering various styles, frame colors, and materials to cater to different preferences and requirements.

“Bottled Water” 2018. Canon EOS M, 22mm f/2 STM. Manila, Philippines. They sure love their purified water in this country and in hindsight they were ahead of the game on this! But a lot has to to with not wanting to get sick from that tap water 🙂

In the end, eyeglasses are meant to aid vision and provide protection, with features tailored to individual preferences.

Glass lenses are more scratch-resistant and durable than plastic lenses, making them suitable for those needing robust eyewear.

Technological advancements like organic glass and polycarbonate offer both advantages and major cons in eyewear options.

Thank you for this post Sam and fantastic full of life images of your family quality time 🙂 about speed – one who want a real speed for not too high price can go with Canon 5dmkii as i do – it’s fast like hell and absolutely cheap FF workhorse !

“Funnel” 2018. Canon EOS M, 22mm f/2 STM. I’m not a huge fan of “state fair” type food, including funnel cake, but the light on that plate was delicious 🙂

With the recent release of the Canon EOS R system, and the Nikon Z6/Z7 just before that, it seems that these big two Camera Legends have finally embraced the mirrorless camera segment.

“Ghetto Blaster” 2013. Canon EOS M, 22mm f/2 STM. Many people rave about the Olympus B&W art filters, but to me the Grainy B&W filter on the EOS M is better!

I’ve used it sparingly over the years. Somehow, I never sold it. The turtle slow AF was reason enough to sell it but I think it’s the camera’s image quality when combined with that superb 22mm f/2 STM that made it a keeper for me. All pics here, unless otherwise noted, were made with the M and 22mm f/2 lens.

When deciding on lenses for personal eyewear, it’s important to consider lifestyle, style, and vision needs. The choice between glass and plastic lenses depends on individual priorities and the intended use of the eyeglasses.

On the other hand, plastic lenses may be better for active individuals or those seeking lightweight options because of their lighter weight and impact-resistant properties.

Instead, their initial offerings, Canon’s 18mp EOS M and Nikon’s 10mp V1 and J1 respectively, seemed more like an appeasement to their base and to those who might otherwise have been enticed by mirrorless pioneers Olympus, Panasonic and/or giants like Sony. But this criticism seems to have been rectified with the new full frame mirrorless releases.

Fans and critics (myself included) have complained that the big two did not give it their all when entering this market back around 2012.

Disadvantages ofplasticlenses

Glass lenses typically offer higher optical quality and are more scratch-resistant than plastic lenses. However, plastic lenses are lighter and more impact-resistant. The choice between the two depends on personal preference and specific needs.

Glass lenses have high refractive index and dispersion properties, making them a traditional choice for eyes. They are durable and scratch-resistant, but they are heavier than plastic lenses.

Thanks so much Victor for your kind words! Great advice on the 5DII! I have a review of it somewhere on these pages and at today’s prices it might be the best DSLR bargain! Best Regards, Sam

“Ride” 2018. Canon EOS M, 22mm f/2 STM. Note, the EOS M gives images that at first glance are reminiscent (in a good way) to photos from the latest generation iPhones, such as the iPhone X., in terms of color and sharpness. Of course, with an 18mp APS-C sensor, it also offers higher detail retention and resolution.

Age and lifestyle also play a role in decision-making. Older individuals may prefer the weight of glass lenses, while younger people may like the flexibility of plastic ones.

“Hey You!” 2014. Canon EOS M, 22mm f/2 STM. This photo was shot using the built in “Miniature” Creative Filter. The filters can be fun if used sparingly.

As mentioned before on this site, I’ve had my EOS M since 2013. I only got one when they were having a close out sale which included body and the 22mm f/2 STM lens for under $300.

Glass lenses are highly durable, less prone to scratches than plastic lenses, and can last longer without showing wear. This makes them a reliable choice for long-lasting eyewear.

Plastic lensmaterial

Glass lenses are more durable and scratch-resistant compared to plastic lenses. Glass lenses can last for years without showing signs of wear, while plastic lenses may require replacement sooner due to scratches and damage.

When choosing between glass and plastic lenses, it’s important to consider factors like prescription requirements, lifestyle, and preferences.

For children and athletes, the durability and safety of plastic lenses make them a practical choice. Plastic lenses, such as polycarbonate, have been used in eyewear for years for their quality and protection. Nowadays, plastic lenses are favored for being lightweight and impact-resistant.

Yes, glass lenses are more scratch-resistant and provide clearer vision compared to plastic lenses. Glass lenses also have better optical clarity and are less susceptible to distortion over time.
