TeleVue Plossls

[Earl]

I have been looking around the net to find out what has been made over time so far i have found:

Current Range:

55, 40, 32, 25, 20, 15, 11, 8

Smooth Side

32, 26, 21, 17, 13, 10.5, 7.4

Smooth Side Japan

55, 40, 32, 26, 21

Can anyone fill any blanks?

They made a 10.4mm smooth side plossl for a very short time - these are pretty rare.

I've seen 2 types of smoothside - the early versions with the engraving around the top rim of the black barrel and the later versions, which were supplied with chunky black rubber eye guards (slip on, not integral) and had the engraving lower on the body so that it would show below the eye guard. Both those ranges went from 7.4mm to 55mm (including a 40mm in 1.25") as far as I was aware.

In the past I've owned full sets of the 1.25" smoothsides and the current version of the plossls but I've never tried the 2" 55mm as it would not suit any scope I've ever owned.
