I have a brand new Meade Series 4000 QX 26 mm 2" eyepiece for sale BNIB. It comes with a plastic screw case. Cost: $95 plus postage. (new price $149 at Bintel). Here is the Meade blurb:
The Meade 26mm, 2-inch Series 4000 QX wide-angle eyepiece is part of a new line of five-element oculars engineered for high-performance observing. All members of this series yield a super-wide 70-degree apparent field of view with resolution that's simply extreme. The 26mm, Series 4000 QX is one of the few eyepieces sold today that can produce a wide field of view with consistent, pinpoint, edge-of-field sharpness and long eye relief. QX wide-angle eyepieces feature multi-layer optical coatings to maximize light transmission and edge-blackened optics for superior image contrast.
Super-wide 70-degree apparent field of view;
5-element optical design;
Provides clear, sharp, high-contrast images;
Fully-multi-coated optics for maximum light transmission;
Blackened lens edges minimize internal reflection,
Superior contrast and pinpoint resolution.
