Canon - Fluorite Lenses The Ultimate High Performance Lenses

[@CarlosGarcia-lh5jh]

I'm a canonist for 40 years and we all know that is Asahi Corp. who provides the fluoride and lens glass to Canon almost ready to use..your comments will be appreciated. Brgds+

[@Rich-hy2ey]

Fluoro-crown glass or "ED glass (a mixture of conventional glasses and fluorite) improved durability, hardness, ease of polishing, but they still have not matched fluorite for low-dispersion.

[@chrishoesel]

I read somewhere that each one of those fluorite elements has to be "grown" and that it takes 6 months to create 1 element. However the video shows them growing the crystal similar to the way a silicon crystal is grown for chip wafers. Anyone know? I find it fascinating.

[@osanaisamyth5591]

There is a similar process in making synthetic quartz , they grow their own crystals for production and control impurities in the material

[@trident8872]

Kowa also uses Fluorite in their spotting scope an binoculars

[@Tommo020788]

Wtf? They are showcasing a high quality image lens on a 320p video?....🤨

Fascinating!!! Can we use it with astronomy?

[@alexmirza5210]

Yes. At very high cost for amateurs.

Thats why I always clean my lenses with toothpaste, sure that's Flouride not Flourite but its only a letter out.

[@victorpiedra6742]

WTF o.0?, ¿Are you serious? Toothpaste is a polisher, if you put it on a lens, you will gradually wear out its surface, and of course you will wipe out the surface coatings that the manufacturer takes so much work to create.

Try fluorine next time.

[@suzesiviter6083]

@@ThatOpalGuy Yeah I heard that cleans anything)

[@ocelotMartinez]

Do they use these fluorite lenses to make astronomy binoculars?

[@alexmirza5210]

There was only one (Japanese) model that used fluorite in the objectives and that was the Takahashi 22x60. But a few top spotting scopes now use it.

[@kaos42ze]

who else uses DO optics now besides Canon ?
