At what expense...their superb Fluorite line of FS refractors. Ever since they, Japanese, banned Fluorite Takahashi had no option but to go to FPL53 and material is only half the equation the other half is the critical figuring of the lens elements. Interesting that TEC is still using Fluorite..although at a cost to the buyer.
