re Televue

I have some Televue Naglar Type 6 eyepieces,they are great.I really like them.

However,a friend saw these,and bought some same type and focal length,plus a 20 mm 2inch one,from same place,But,unlike mine which had made in Japan stamped on them,his had FOC China!,and he paid $750 for one.To me this is unexceptable,I would not like to pay so much for something made in China.

Also another chap bought a top of the line Televue 102 Apo refractor,and after a couple of weeks all the paint inside the tube bubbled up,had a devil of a time with Televue.(although the optics were very good,bubbly paint on a tube valued at $3500,is not good!)

I think I will stick with made in Japan only.Vixen and Taks

Lifes to short for inferior optics,just my observation.
