Before i disposed of the GSO's, I got rid of most of the others, including several TMB's (very average) and a Seibert (total rubbish).

For the money they are hard to beat.

Hi Jason,
Leaving aside the obvious, like the cheap SR eyepieces that come with cheap telescopes (though some Huygens aren't too bad), I have to agree with you that there aren't that many duds I've come across. I do actually have a semi-dud eyepiece - my 16mm 1.25" Widescan - a total dud in my dob and in my C8, but brilliant in my 80mm refractor.
Cheers,
Renato
