My eyepiece collection faced the axe recently,
Televues 38 out of 42 went away, only two Panoptic 24s, one Delos and one Nagler survived the cull.
Pentax were not so lucky, they were all retrenched
Takahashi were the survivors, 8 out of 8 are still here
Vixen also all toast....
Sacrifices had to be made in order to have a nice pair of binoculars..  |
Naglers ? as good as they are I found they fuelled my addiction something terrible , you know ? putting out fire with gasoline
especially the T4-6's ( all gone ) great small and powerful eyepieces
but $$$$$ 's lots of $$$'s .
On that I did have enough sanity to save 4 , 3x T1's the 9mm , 13mm ( THE ORIGONAL portal into SPACE ! eyepiece that's never been bested and I will never sell but at 870 gm's she's a beast ! ) and 16mm and one T2 the awesome 20mm , 1kg of glass and metal
and if your mount/focuser can take it it's one of the best eyepieces ever made but these don't get the use the Plossls get but when they come out ,,,
look OUT ! .
Just look at the shadows these monsters cast it reminds me of Steven King's ' The Dark Tower ' in his awesome novels by the same name .
All 4 are now becoming super collectable , especially in the USA .
