Lewis, what scope were you using your LV's in? I've only ever once wanted to roll an EP under a fast moving truck - the 5mm LV I had. I found it terrible to use in my C5, eye placement was crap. It was the first decent quality EP I ever got, and it was a major disappointment.

Just to say that the LV's are the best you've ever used isn't enough info. What scope is essential here to validate your argument.

I don't recall having use the 5mm LV in my 10" Newt, which is the only other scope I had that I could have used it in. In the end, the exasperation I felt with it forbad me from selling it. I gave it away, and good riddance.

One thing NO manufacturer ever says is to what telescope optical system their EPs are optimised for. It is only in forums like this one that the dirty linen finally comes out. Too much money is invested in EPs, and not enough info is given about them to match the expectations. We amateurs then cop it in the neck when the hype doesn't match the experience.

Mental.
