Thanks, IIS and everybody involved for this thread. Given the favourable reviews and the low prices, I took a punt and decided to fill a gap in my collection with the 5mm. Was a bit scary ordering from Amazon Japan with everything in Japaneese (then I found the 'English' button which translated most important things). It arrived 2 days later (take that, Australia Post!). It arrived in probably the most robust case I've ever seen, like a huge plastic bolt that screws on with the eyepiece inside it. And wow! that's a hefty piece of glass! But when I put it in; wow! I got the best views I've ever had of Mars. Very flat, field edges very clear and wonderful detail in moments of good seeing. Thinking maybe I should stop being such a wuss and get one or two more!
Thanks for the smarts, IIS'ers :-)
