Thanks Dave for letting me you know you recieved it safe and sound
I was starting to get concerned.
I have been using the 4mm a bit in my 5" f5, which gives me 162x.
Like I have said to Davo, the look and feel of them isnt up there with the likes of TV and Pentax, but the view isnt far behind. They are very sharp on axis, and pretty good across the field at f5. I also finally got used to the eyeplacement, which I find is ideal for me with the eyecup screwed up about 5mm from the bottom.
At the price we got them they are excellent value for money and I'm pretty happy with it as a
secondary use eyepiece case filler. I say secondary as I dont mind spending on premium ep's for those that I use a lot.
For those starting to kit themselves out with eyepieces, if you can pick these up at 2nd hand prices I would suggest these might be a better and similarly priced option than buying a quality barlow for use with existing plossls for high mag viewing.
