TP Scope lenses

Ok, I’m finally ready to put up a sale thread for my scope lenses.
Available Powers:
.25(2x).50(4x).75(6x)1.0(8x)1.25(10x)

Polycarbonate Aspheric Scope Lens with Premium Hydrophobic AR: $45.00

Hi Index Aspheric Scope Lens with Premium Hydrophobic AR: $55.00

Glass Scope lens with Premium Hydrophobic AR: $66.00 ( Glass is not available yet. It’s coming.)

UPS Shipping $5.95

They come with a 1 year no hassle guarantee.

I currently have lens sizing available in 1 3/8” or 1 3/4”. I can make any circular lens from 1” and up. Just let me know what size you need and I’ll do what I can.

For payment I accept money order, paypal, and credit card via phone.

Trades offers are always welcome. I will also cut deals for multiple lens purchases.

For those of you that don't know what the difference in materials.

Poly is extremely lightweight and impact resistant. It can have adverse reactions to some chemicals like acetone, but all in all is a well rounded lens.

Hi Index is a Compound Resin that is light weight, but not a light as poly. It is also very impact resistant, but not as much as poly. It fairs better to chemical exposure than poly. It also has a higher ABBE value than poly. Which, basically means it has less distortion or a higher clarity level. Depends on which way you look at it. ( HI Index is my lens choice)

The last is glass which is the heaviest and least break resistant. However glass does have the highest ABBE value of the three materials. Which, gives it the highest optical clarity.

Hydrophobic AR is more durable and more scratch resistant than normal AR. It’s far easier to clean and resists dirt and oils better than normal AR.

For those of you that had questions about other types of lenses. I will look into each and every request as soon as I have finished getting the glass production ready to go. Thanks. Feel free to PM me any questions.

Here are some links to pages about the products.

Ok guys.

I will be taking orders for flat glass scope lens now. Price is still $66 for glass with 5.95 UPS shipping.

The first powers available for glass will be:
2x(.25)4x(.50)6x(.75)8x(1.0)

Please take into account it will take about7-10 days before you receive your flat glass scope lenses. I don't use alot of glass for anything else, so I'm only stocking a small inventory at any one time until I get enough steady business to justify a larger stock. Each glass lens will be custom ground to spec after your order.

Poly and Hi index have faster turn around time and are currently shipping next day.

In the near future I will be offering 3x,5x and 7x powered lenses in glass.

Pm me if you have any questions.

I agree with DB, these are excellent lens.

I have the 6X Hi Index and love it.

I want to thank you guys for all the orders. Right now I'm getting a little backed up with glass. It keeps hitting a log jam at coating. I need to bump delivery time back to 12-14 days on glass lenses. Poly and HI index are still going out within a day or two.

I just got my drill bits in this morning for all the sizes listed above. If you have the fibers already and need a drilled lens. I can do it. Otherwise I'm still waiting on fibers to include with each drilled lens.
