G'day all.
I ended up buying Stephans 35mm ultima & it turned up today. I'm out there testing it now in the refractor.
One of the best purchases I've done all year I think. The EP is in great condition! (thanks Stephan)
After reading several reviews on this EP prior to purchase, I was very worried about the 'black-outs' that this EP apparently produces.
Well I can safely say I need worry no longer! Yes, it does black-out if your holding your eye too close.....It has long ER. So it's actually operator error that causes the black-outs.
In the refractor it gives me a mag of: 34X The newt: 45X ER: 25mm AFOV: 49 deg.
I also own the 24mm Ultima & to be honest, it's slightly worse in the black-out department over the 35mm, one needs to be more critical of eye placement....The written reviews out there will have you believe the opposite!! Simply not true.
This EP will be buried with me along with the 24mm!
