[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 2481604, member: 10291"] Generally, the particular grade of glass and coating is specified by the scope manufacturer. Both Schott Glass and Hoya have the expertise and supply the coating technology as well. Selection by the scope manufacturer is much like that of buying a diamond. There are grades for aberrations, brilliance, color, shape, etc. And, like selecting a diamond, this aspect plays a material role in the cost/price and surely, the optical quality of the particular scope. Each scope manufacturer balances the lens selection to there particular strategy. Before retirement, in a prior life, I worked in the Analytical Instrumentation Industry. Many of the detection systems utilized specialty lenses in instruments used to detect low level compounds in drugs, food, water, etc. Lens quality and selection could mean the difference between detecting(or not detecting) the presence/level of toxins in consumed products.. A different world from rifle scopes, but it had some similarities when it came to lens selection. [/QUOTE]
