From the Manufacturer
Razor sharp images both visually and photographically. The pursuit of perfection starts here.

The new ED glass produces clear and high contrast viewing, virtually free of false color. The design uses newly developed, environmentally friendly glass technology. The optical tube is very stable yet light weight. The Vixen ED81 is an ideal travel scope. It is suitable not only for low magnifications but also for high powers beyond 150x.
The telescope is ideally suited for demanding observers and photographers. Vixen ED apochromatic refractors are doublet refractors with excellent colour correction and field correctioin suitable for SLR cameras. This makes them suitable for demanding astro-photographers and demanding observers alike. The top carry handle also includes a 1/2-20 stud for piggyback camera mounting. The supplied flip mirror system is threaded for two-inch filters. The ED81 is made in Japan.
