- Objective compliant to optical and environmental performance specifications of MIL-L-49426 (aviation filters removed)
- Higher center resolution than standard Milspec
- Great eye box and eye relief
- Low optical distortion
LW40
LW40 lenses, also known as "Norinco milspec" deliver optical performance comparable to Western milspec glass and remain in the entry-level price range. However, they have not been tested to meet actual milspec performance or environmental standards, despite being labeled as such by others.
In line with our other listed lens systems, the LW40 features a collimatable eyepiece.
- Good resolution
- Some more zone 3 distortion and chromatic aberration than standard Milspec
- Good eye box and eye relief, slightly less forgiving than standard Milspec
- Lighter than standard Milspec
Rochester Precision Optics
