I have decided to part with my much treasured collection of Vixen LV eyepieces which took me many years to gather.
The collection features 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, & 20 mm occulars.
IMHO these are grossly underestimated eyepieces. They are all made in Japan, feature 20mm eye-relief and outside the very well regarded Pentax XWs and Vixen LVWs they are the only other eyepieces to my knowledge which use genuine lanthanum glass. There are many good reviews about these EPs comparing them against Radians, Naglers and in my own opinion are just as good as Tak LE's.
There are no differences in the lens/configurations between the current Vixen NLV's and these the original LV's except for a change in the eyecup. In my own opinion these original LVs with the firm rubber eyecup are, in fact, far better than the plastic twist-top eyecup of the current NLVs.
The NLV's in these focal lengths all retail for $159 each (except the 4mm which is $165) at My AstroShop.
I will not seperate this collection and will only sell as a set together.
Asking $400 for all six including registered post with insurance anywhere in Australia.
Please send PM's only.
Thank you for looking at my listing.
