Is this 43mm Digital Camera Lens Made of CdTe?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the materials used in the construction of a 43mm digital camera lens, specifically questioning whether it is made of cadmium telluride (CdTe). The user analyzed the lens's transmission spectrum and noted similarities to that of CdTe, while also acknowledging that amorphous CdTe is more fragile. The uncertainty regarding the lens's material composition remains a key point of debate among participants.
