Important edit to my first post:
Morton you are right. My freaking phone gave me trouble when editing my post, and I have not had access to a machine to change my original post.
Yes, the comment of Don's is that these EP's work well in a refractor. But this is as a small comment on the side, not in the major review. This is where most of the bad press will come towards these eyepieces.
The point is that these eyepieces are focal plane specific. It does not mean there is anything wrong with them. It just means they are not suited to Newtonians, which is not the largest market for telescopes in Japan who prefer Cats and refractors - which these eyepieces appear to be matched to, as you suggest Adrian. As such I do not have a problem with this. I understand the matching of scope and eyepiece optics. But many people do not. I have several eyepieces that are scope specific, and I do not interchange them from scope design to the other as I know they will not 'work'. But put in the right scope and they are a ripper.
