Product Info

Manufacturer Description

Kokusai Kohki continues the tradition of offering the highest quality Japanese made Orthoscopic eyepieces with the introduction of their brand new FUJIYAMA HD-OR eyepiece lineup. Fujiyama HD-ORs are hand crafted at their Tokyo factory and individually inspected before shipping.

Named after the Japanese name for that sky reaching symbol of Japan - Mt. Fuji - the FUJIYAMA HD-ORs come standard with multicoatings on all air to glass surfaces (cemented lens surfaces are uncoated), giving them extended light throughput, and brighter images overall, as compared to Kokusai Kohki's previous volcano-top OR eyepiece lineup. And all lenses are edge blackened to reduce internal light scatter and reflections to an absolute minimum.

The entire Fujiyama lineup is parfocal, accepts standard 1.25" astronomy filters, and comes with plastic eyepiece caps. The chrome barrels of the Fujiyama HD-ORs are smooth-sided, and they have removed the helpful, but also often annoying, safety groove.

Solid construction, bright, clean and sharp views throughout a fully corrected 42 degree AFOV with sharp field stops makes the Fujiyamas perfect for every type of viewing. They are also an exellent match with high end apochromats for hard core planetary, lunar, solar and double star viewing.

Each eyepiece carries a one year Kokusai Kohki parts and labor warranty.

      5.0 Fujiama HD orthos

      Pros:

      Cons:

      Comments:

      Going back to old-school certainly is refreshing when you have such quality Japanese lenses to look through. Sure they have narrower fields of view compared to the wide Field eyepieces of today. It’s the clarity and “snap” of the image that immediately strikes you. One look you’ll be hooked! Although these aren’t being made anymore... grab them while you can! You will not be disappointed!

      5.0 Superb KK 6mm

      Pros:

      Cons:

      Comments:

      This is the 4th Fujiyama ortho eyepiece that I have accumulated from Agena over the past couple of years. As with the other focal lengths, it is a superb Abbe design that is great for double stars, planets and the moon. I found the sharpness, clarity, color rendition, contrast and edge of field to be on par with 6mm eyepieces I have from Brandon and a 1970s Clave Plossl. I sure hope they decide to issue more of these in the future. For the price they can't be beat. Even without considering price at all, they are of the highest quality and compare favorably with the best of their kind.

      5.0 Worth every penny of it!

      Pros:

      Strong Construction,Easy to Use,Quality Lenses,Lightweight,Accurate,Compact

      Cons:

      Comments:

      Three months ago I purchased the 4mm, 5mm, and 6mm Fujiyama orthos to compliment my 120ED refractor. The eyepieces are of excellent quality and highly recommended, so long as one doesn't mind the short eye relief. They are as good as other less glass eyepieces that cost twice as much.
