The way we are all going to find out is by waiting for someone to get their scope delivered.
By the way the web page
http://www.made-in-china.com/showroo...Telescope.html for the scope is laid out, it looks like you get everything above the " Optional accessories for our 127mm ED Apo Telescope: " line. That would make the deal include the EP's, diagonal and finder. The picture shows these items laid out with the package.
Why list the accessories unless they are included.

It looks like he has said ok to upgrading the finderscope, so it must be included?
