The Masuyama eyepieces are coveted for their clear, high-contrast views on a velvet black background and feature a "Hybrid Plössl" design with five elements. They have a much better edge of field performance and improved color performance compared to Plössls and other competing designs. Masuyama eyepieces achieve a high contrast through a much smoother cut than with all other premium eyepieces, as well as through internal diaphragms in the long eyepiece body.
