The chances that these lenses are made by a major manufacturer and them
marketed under an "off-brand" name are practically nil, no matter what the
salesman tells you.

The only good lenses I have heard of with plastic elements (the lenses
inside the lens) are extremely expensive.

I suppose a lens with a plastic barrel is ok for a few months but I'll bet
I won't hold up for as long as a metal one.
