Ethos
Rod, I got one in Bintel's original batch that came in September. I'm using it in a 35cm F/4.6 scope, and it immediately became my default eyepiece. For me it generates 123x with a 2.8mm exit pupil & 0.8 degree true field of view, which is perfect for viewing most deep-sky objects. The only time I feel the need to switch eyepieces is for objects that require higher magnification (smaller globulars & planetary nebulae), and for planets. I haven't tried it with a Paracorr, but haven't felt the need of it either.
Only issue I've had with it is that it required more in-travel on the focuser than I expected. I can only bring it to focus by taking out my 1.25" adapter & fitting it in the 2" barrel.
