As David said the retaining ring issue is fixed on all of them. However they are clearing out the old design 6mm before they bring in the new design, this is why I am waiting. There is nothing wrong with the old design, just the new version is better. All focal lengths other than the 6mm are of the new design.

Geoff, Yes if we can get an order up for 6 to 12 eyepieces you will save a bit. Postage from Sydney to Hobart for David's collimator he bought off me was only $3.60. plus about $1-00 for the padded bag.

Lets assume 8 eyepieces. Postage from US would be say $24 for 8 eyepieces which is $3 each plus local postage of $4-60. Hence total postage cost if we buy 8 eyepieces is about $7-60 each. If you buy 1 eyepiece and ship direct from USA its going to cost you a lot more than $7-60 postage I would think.

I just realised we would need to keep the order under $AUS500 to avoid duty and GST, anyone know what the import limits are on this stuff at the moment?
