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!

If they as good as my WO 28mm UWAN you will be very happy. It's a bit of an unknown gem. Can we get a report once you've had a chance to use them a bit?

Gentlemen, I greatly appreciate your comments. It would be a pleasure to complete a brief report once they are all in action.

Brian,

My eyes are a complete mess, I don't actually see very well and if I was to only use "my eyes" the result would be a misleading report. I think what I will do is take them along to a Dark Sky night with my Astro Club. More eyes, more expertise = more accurate report and a great personal incentive to get off my arse and attend a Dark Sky night!

Cheers

David
