Lensometer Reccommendation

[borrowmyeye]

I would appreciate input on digital versus manual lensometer. I am an optical retailer. Also info on where to buy and how much should it cost.

Many thanks for your help

I have been researching, and the best deal I can find today is a Burton 2021 Lensmeter from rhburton.com on sale for $950.00

Topcon is boasting of a new line of telescopic lensmeters. I have used one and was very impressed, but I haven't heard anything else about them.

Best of Luck

borrowmyeye,

I just purchased a new Topcon LM8E and it does the job well.. I like the fact that it can run on batteries too!

Where and how much for the Topcon? Has anyone heard if they are reliable?

Topcon is OK, nut nothing beats a well calibrated B&L Model 70 :D:D:D

I've used that exact Topcon and enjoyed it quite a bit. It's not as burly as the B&L (what is?) but I kinda liked being able to move it around with one hand.
