Anyone used these new Tak Ultrawide eyepieces?

If they are anything like their telescopes these eyepieces might be very nice.

Anyone had any experience with them?

They came out around 2011, if I recall correctly, so they are not new.

Because of the price and small eye relief, few people have bought or used them.
