The 5mm LE is fast becoming one of my favourite eyepieces for planetary observing - I think some regard it (and/or the 7.5) as the best in the entire range provided they are suitable to the focal length of your OTA
I can't say I have noticed any "flaring" in my 5mm but I suspect there are lots of factors that could potentially cause this perception in any eyepiece
I am not trying to beat up bussiness for Claude (although he is a very nice guy) but in case anyone is interested or don't already know - he does have the LE's on special right now - essentially he is selling them for the same price in AUD as what they sell overseas in USD
- and he is doing this despite the drop in the value of the AUD
