No, I bought it at our club's auction/swap meet.
I don't know who manufactured it.

Thanks for posting the pictures Rich, it is a good looking scope. It sure looks like the Long Perng 90mm, but who knows?

I'll place my vote for the 80mm F8 Vixen Fluorite (FL80S). I have compared it to every 80mm on the market save a few of the most recent Chinese offerings and have never thought I should "upgrade". Going strong since 1987.....
Nice scope had one and foolishly sold it. I also had a Stellarvue SV80S very nice but I really liked the longer FL of the Vixen 80mm Fluorite. I ended up selling to 80mm f/6 LOMO and replacing it with a SV90T Fluorite. At 630mm the FL is almost the same as the Vixen was but I have 10mm more aperture, sliding dew shield and a Feather Touch on the Stellarvue.

My WO 80mm 480mm F6 Triplet with Lomo Super APO Optics is the best 80mm I have come accross. In 2005 when I bought it WO advertised it as a Flourite Triplet which was misleading and contriversial at the time. In any event I kept it and it has never let me down. I will never part with it.
