[QUOTE="Chrismadrid, post: 138031, member: 4416"] [ QUOTE ] Remember this is about lenses and not the scope platform, and I dont knock NF. Just wondering about where all the GLASS or poly lenses come from. thanks [/ QUOTE ]There are OTHER glass factories. Lesser known (maybe). One is called ASIA OPTICAL in Japan - who if memory serves is connected with NF. There are also at least 4 factories in China.

The simple fact is that almost NO SCOPE maker tells you the GLASS SPEC. They just say "ultra bright" or something as banal. But then would anybody REALLY understand if they quoted BAK7 or N-BJ7, N-SF8 etc? The unsung hero here is "Coatings" - This makes a HUGE difference. Good glass and shite coatings.
