The lenses are made by Rochester Precision Optics, the same company that makes the Ether lightweight lens systems as well as the incredible lens systems found on the PVS-31 and GPNVG-18 systems.
RPO lenses are significantly lighter than standard Mil-Spec lenses, and are paired with the Opfor Night Solutions 3D Optimized Eyepiece Assembly which is also half the weight of a standard Mil-Spec assembly, and still 30-40% lighter than competing lightweight assemblies.
Optical clarity with RPO lens assemblies is nothing short of incredible. They also offer higher light transmission than other Mil-Spec options, but at the cost of slightly more light refraction.
KIT INCLUDES:
- (1 Each) - Objective with O-Ring, Eyepiece with O-Ring, Lightweight Diopter
- Associated Set Screws for Diopter
RPO lightweight lenses offer many advantages over standard Milspec lenses including lighter weight, higher transmission, and higher clarity.
