Yes it is. I have one of those too and its one of my favourite medium/high power eyepieces in all of my scopes. Enough eye relief (16mm useable) to use with glasses on and very sharp with good contrast and light throughput. At a bit over $200; it's one of the great bargains out there for a high quality Japanese made eyepiece.
