The three lines of EPs from Televue each excell at different things. The Plossls will give you the highest transmission and on-axis performance in general, the naglers the widest field and the panos are in between.

Keep in mind that there are other options besides televue on the premium EP market. Best to try as many as you can at a star party, club meeting etc.

Of all the Televue EPs, the Plossls are my favourite. They are truly outstanding performers. I haven't found anything that beats my TV plossls, although HD orthos are on par (the main diff being the more neutral colour tone). The Panoptics would be next choice because they are very comfortable, except for the 15mm which has too little eye relief. The Naglers are a bit temperamental IMO, esp. for a beginner, and definitely not as good in some respects as the TV plossls.

I would not buy these EPs off ebay from overseas. Buy locally new or wait till one turns up on the 2nd hand market.
