I sold my 26mm series 4000 thinking I would never need it or use it....so now that I have sold my scope I needed to replace it so I decided to surprise the buyer and get a 20mm series 5000 plossl in its place.
First impressions:
WOW
Meade has always packaged their eyepieces in a cheap cardboard box wrapped in plastic.....these new eyepiece not only look impresive they are packaged like a Nagler....once you open the solid box it comes in, its presented to you on a black felt moulded insert that looks good enough for expensive Jewelery....I was very impressed.....that plus its adjustable eyeguard makes this eyepiece look very impresive.....
I am not testing this eyepiece...my comments are only visual from out of the box......
But I'm impressed.....wonder how they will rate...I see these being a popular eyepiece.
