[QUOTE="Catfur, post: 1581369, member: 41271"] Swarovski scopes use Schott glass afaik (Schott AG is owned by the same consortium as Zeiss). Nobody uses flourite in riflescopes that I know of. Some have mentioned its use in spotting scopes and camera lenses. Flourite is also used in some specialty camera lenses for its transmissivity in non-visible wavelengths (UV/IR lenses), this feature provides no benefit for an optical wavelength system. [/QUOTE]
