I have had two full sets of Fujiyama orthos and the contrast and sharpness is second to none,I have had a Tak 6mm Abbe also and IMHO is no better than the Fuji 6mm and as i have been lead to believe are all made at the same place in Japan just different specs but my problem is i cannot get used to the small fov and/or the er ,Tried obviously as i bought the full set twice just not for me ,The Tak orthos are definitely not worth the extra coin if the 6mm is anything to go by and think that you will be more than happy with the 12.5 Fujiyama as with the 18mm were my favourites out of the set

Does anyone know whether the optics in the Fujiyama are the same as in the UO (the HD moniker was used by UO)?
Does anyone have direct experience with both Fujiyama HD and Tak orthos?
Given that I am not worried about eye relief or fov can anyone make a case not to chose an ortho?
thanks for any input,
David
