Excellent eyepieces the LVW series. I've used my 22mm in an f/4 Newtonian, with no coma corrector, image is excellent, only a small amount of coma visible on the very edge, & no astigmatism at all. My 8mm is one of the easiest to use eyepieces I have ever encountered, with next to no eye strain after using it for 4 hours straight.

The LVW series is one of the very few entire series model that perform extremely well in all scope designs, Newt', Mak, SCT, refractor, & slow and fast focal ratios.

They maintain a high resale value too.

There are also the "Orion Lanthanum Superwide" eyepieces - exact same eyepiece but with the Orion badge. These are today only available in the second hand market, so represent excellent value for money.
