GS SV 10mm

Went into Bintel on Friday and picked up my 5x powermate (yay!), and while I was there Mike C showed me the new GS SV 10mm that they got in. They haven't got the 5mm in yet.

On the surface, it looks like all the SV range - but it's got a barlow built into the bottom of the barrel.

We chucked it in an ED100 and pointed it at some buildings across the way.. umm, it's a shocker. Only 50% of the field was in focus, and that's being generous. The edges of the field couldn't be brought to focus and it was terrible multi colour.

I wouldn't recommend these eyepieces to anyone. The 30mm 2" SV is the best of the GS EP range by far, but so far, my experience of the 1.25" SV range is that they are terrible.
