[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 2777373, member: 12443"] As for the fluorite lenses in any optic. Unless things have changed recently, only the inner element of the objective lens will be fluorite glass, all other glass used in the optic will be regular glass, including the eyepiece glass. Reason being that the fluorite is a weaker glass from the standpoint of abuse, and is only used in protected areas. Advertising laws permit manufacturers to advertise the higher quality glass even though only a small percentage of the total actually is. My suggestion would be to compare one with and one without side by side. On an average day you wont be seeing any difference. Low light conditions (might) show some advantage for some users, especially those who own them. I would personally be looking on Ebay for a nice older model scope, like a Kowa 77 mm TSN series. You will buy one in excellent condition for $500 or less with the eyepiece. [/QUOTE]
