Old ones with so called "non-scratch" coating would generally last me 3-4 months professional photography until I could barely see through the damn things. Under the same circumtsances (including about 21/2 months in dusty Cenertal America at trhe height of the dry season + Yellowknife, with plenty of non-metalled roads is always dusty in summmer..) my N*k*n lenses didn't show a scratch until well over a year. When I changed them they were about two years old and still in better nick than any other plastic ones I have. Also, the anit-glare coating is great too - incredibly clear. I hate glass lenses for my eyes - they weigh a ton... Tim A
