I have only this week completed my EWA WO Collection, it is my first full set of eyepieces. They are awesome, acres of glass, expansive 101* views & they are HUGE! The piece missing from this pic is the EWA 9mm, it will be arriving sometime next week.
Their physical size would be a significant impediment for many scopes but my scope is a 130mm APO so it isn't much of a problem. For a known size comparison, "little" eyepiece on the left-hand side is a 2" 35mm TV Panoptic!
There is a sense to this "size" madness, I carry a significant visual impairment and find very large eyepieces with huge fields of view much easier to use. I am however now pushing the edges of my visual acuity and at some time in the future visual astronomy will no-longer be possiblem, but.... today is not that day!
