I have th GS 30mm superview 2"...I am happy with it for the price...I would though like to compare it with some higher priced eyepiece which i am looking at the moment.....

The only comment I would like to say is the eye relief is very small.....you really need to stick your eye into the eyepiece to get the full view....first time I used it...I thought their was something wrong with it as it was all black......lol.....I cant compare to others but I dont need to get anywhere near that close with my 26mm meade plossl........

I will consider this when purchasing more eyepieces.....what is a good measurment for eye relief...15mm?.....

Isnt the eye lens well recessed down into the barrel with those?
IIf so the eye relief may be better than you think.
