Now take the same lens and hold it steady on a flat surface. Take your favorite hammer and hammer the lens (not the screw). Really hammer it. It doesn't shatter, it only scratches it!
.... but don't forget to wear safety glasses while trying this experiment...an eye injury doing that would not only be tragic, but it would be pretty ironic
