I have been out a couple of times with this eyepiece and find it
great to use . ( 12" f5 dob)
As by pic its very compact and weight wise is very light
While there is a little info out there it does seem a little scarce when you go looking ..A review of the 12 mm did mention some noticable f/c .. while I don't intentionally go looking for problems with eyepeices switching between my 27 panoptic and 28 mm pretoria I did notice a little in the panoptic over time..Though my eyes must accomodate it fairly well as I don't find it annoying. The 8.5 pentax seems pretty good in regard as far as i can tell ..while I like my naglers ..I must admit the views through a couple of
other shorter f/l xws are just that "little" more natural looking ..this one
has me thinking the same.
overall for $190 this is great value imo
tony I can't see any glare in brighter objects with this one so far
my naglers show a little change in fringe colours on really bright objects
I would say in comparisson its quite noticable that the pentax dosn't
seem to show this at all ( so far ) .. maybe in time i'll change my mind
but to be honest for the asking price theres not much wrong with this
bit of glass...other than maybe it should have a higher price tag
