Hi Stephen,

If you don't mind me asking, what's the primary lens aperature and exit pupil aperature on those Ba'ader 8-24mm zoomers, and are they 2" or 1.25"?

I have a Long Perng 8-21mm 1.25" small primary aperature, larger exit pupil aperature (can't remember exact specs at the moment) nice construction, fairly good quality and value at $120 AUS. Really only good for moon, some closer planets and use in a spotting scope setup though.

Regards...
