Here's a comparision photo between my GSO Super Plossl 9mm and my TMB Planetary Type II 9mm. Chalk and cheese really. You can see the difference in their eyelenes, and to look into the plossl you need to push hard onto the rubber eyeguard to look into the peep hole.

This TMB is twice the price of the Plossl (a $30 EP), but the observing quality makes it a world of difference.

The 9mm plossl came with a scope I bought new. I have never used it in a scope, and the only other time I took it out of its box (other than for this photo) was when I bought the scope to inspect it, and that was two years ago.

It is still better than some really terrible cheapie eyepieces out there, but if you know better, there are much better alternatives.
