The heaviest pair of glasses weigh a LOT less than does the smallest Leica lens, after all. I do agree about modern plastics and coatings, though. I am experimenting with a pair of plastic glasses at the challenge of my optometrist, and I have now had them for two years, and they work fine so far. I have not babied them -- but my M3 has yet to mark them in the least. But, still, glass is the way to go.
