That may be so , but that's the 5mm not the 3mm , totally different production run , I would think ? , as I said my 3mm as Steve originally asked about is a very good eyepiece for $59 .
One point , I noticed Andrews are saying the 5mm is 'Sold Out' in their inventory of these eyepieces , I
wonder if they sold out because they are good and lots of people brought them ? of they removed them from sale because or a major design flaw ?
Food for thought .

Your response is wordy and positive but no reference to my criticism of these short focal length Long Perne . Any comments on ghost reflections?
I reiterate that the 5mm LP was useless for lunar observation - it went straight back.
