The use optics that they seem keen not to reveal however they have advised that its not FPL51 nor is it FPL53 but something as good as FPL53, if not better.

I am trying to decide between this and the Vixen ED81SWT at the moment.
The Vixen has the weight advantage and i have only ever heard good things about Vixen japan's optics. But the look of the SV and the jewel like finish is outstanding. I have head nothing but praise about the SV by everyone who owns or owned one and the always mention the mechanics are awesome.

Fahim,

That was my next question.
What glass do they use in the Stellarvue NHNG??, is it FPL53 or 51.
I can't seem to find this info anywhere, not even from the AUS dealer SDM.

If it's as good as FPL53 or better, I'm happy with that.
Do you know are they made in USA or China/Taiwan etc?? At the moment I can't decide between the SV and the Vixen either, both nice scopes for the money.

Cheers,
Paul.
